After 4 days, i saw my RAC on the Quad Core QX6700 running at 4Ghz to drop by 100 points, that means DreamScene has a 5% impact on the RAC of Rosetta. other little details: Look at the Top 20 computer list ... I added some "sponsored toys" to help Rosetta. who? ID: 37132 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I'm sure you already play with them and it's not top secret stuff anymore. Only the performance... Show us what they can do (without being fired). ID: 37133 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Only the performance... Show us what they can do (without being fired). I am not going to show any 45nm performance here, i could get fired for this!!!!!! Let's say I do not worry about K8L, alias K9, alias K10 ... may be K11 ... sorry ... I forgot to say, I expect the performance drop due to Dreamscene to be higher on slower machines, but again: DreamScene is soo cool! I love it! You can get nice windows media HD clips from microsoft.com/windowsmedia and transform your desktop into a animated aquarium in 1080P!! only 5% impact! I ll keep doing it! so good looking effect! Sad they do not support DivX HD clips, because the compression is better. who? ID: 37134 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Quake/Doom motion sickness ... I still miss the coolest feature I ever saw on a screen: F10/F11/F12 keys on a MAC, with autoreorganization of the windows ...so easy to pick your windows in the MAC OS. who?
