Sorry Mate, but your quad core can't be that great because my SINGLE core
Athlon 64 3700+ will run it perfectly rarely getting over 20%CPU usage when
idle and rarely over 50% when I am doing normal work. This is while using a
WMVHD vid from microsoft called Robotica. I only have 1GB of very slow RAM
and my graphics is only a 6600 256MB from nVidia, so my specs aren't exactly
brilliant. But if my PC beats one with a Quad Core processor... (sorry to
use the recently coined cliche, but) WOW. That is quite cool.

Hi Dustin, whats your CPU utilization like with video background
(butterfly)?

its sucking my Quad core dry! I realized as soon as the CPU fan (which
never comes on) started up at full speed. CPU's 1-3 ~15-20%, CPU 4 ~50%
utlisation with nothing else going on and no other apps loaded.

CPU goes back to normal when I change to static backdrop.

Awesome. I've been playing with the beta for a while, and it's great.

Thanks! It should make some people feel a little better thinking they got
ripped off because it didn't come with it...

If you check on Windows Update you'll find a per-release version of
DreamScene for download. It ships with one video modeled off the default
wallpaper.
