Reviewing 3.0 (Jun 9, 2006)

While being a good program for making your windows OS desktop look pretty and do some really cool thing, it is skinable, and thier is a TON of items online to skin it with! It can make your windows look like U want it.. not how MS would think you like it.

Ok, now the downside..

IT IS a memory hog. It does tend to lag down a lower end system. Newer systems alltho, might have a better go at it. With thier faster processors, and more ram.

As far as the system requirements:
(in my opinion)
1ghz CPU at a minimum
512 mb ddr ram a must
64 mb video card (higher if you want transparent windows)

Now for the recomended system specs:

2ghz or higher processor
1 gig of ddr ram
128 - 256 mb video card.

The problem is when you have to render more items on the screen, the more pixel and gradient fills, the more you add to the original look to the OS, the more it laggs down windows. If you get it and turn it fully on, and use the most grafic setting and skin you can find. You will see what I mean, if your on a lower end system..

All in all, not a bad program to make your PC your own style.

The only problems I can see is a slight memory leak, and too much system resources being used to render the changes. If they could tone it down on the system resources, it might be more appealing to the everyday poweruser.
