LOLED@@

i wonder those who like customisation so much, how much rams do you all have? 2gb and above? my 784mb seems cant run on too much customisation elses it will be extremely lagging

Rainlendar and Rainmeter seems light enough to run on system with 1GB RAMs.. might work for system with only 512mb RAMs too..

my sistem run on 1GB ram..did not use WB though..other than that i have tried..1GB i think is enough..most of the time my ram usage would not pass 700MB..

mine 768mb only .. running avedesk,rk launcher and yz toolbar .. no lagging at all ..

Freak`

rk launcher & samurize (the main ones i'm running) run smoothly on my 768MB .. and still i can folds at the same time (look at my cpu n ram usage in my screenie)

Thread splitted

I ran samurize, avedesk, styler, rk launcher (total less than 10MB) on my 512MB windows.

Most of my mods are not for showing them on desktop. (hacked system files, edited menus, removing UI elements)

me running 1GB o rams.. wif Samurize, Objectdock, no lagging or wat so eva.. but my past rig, a 256mb o rams, sure sucks lyk hell s soon s samurize is up... sigh~

i have no lagging problems, running yahoo widgets, rainlender and styler, but i dun like the slow windows start, others running is MSN, avg, ZoneAlarm, etc, anyway to make it loads faster?

with 1GB of ram, i have 4 widgets running total about 50MB , then theres firefox with average 80mb , MSN 10 MB and other stuff , still my pc running smooth , even when playing Warcraft

with 768mb ram...
running object dock, samurize, windows blind, yahoo messenger, msn live messenger, skype, mirc, icq
just taken up less than 400mb ram resources...

1GB and above should do it.. i got roughly 1.3gb ram, usually used about 600+mb.. the rest is free

Memory management by windows is not really that good and there are many debates over this topic as well. I'm not going to the exact detail since this is already off-topic. But just wanted to give you that idea.

Anyway, running all this bling bling not only consumes RAM but processing power as well. Please keep that in mind.

im patched up the uxtheme and it lags like hell, then i switched to WB, very fast, and i only use 384MB machine

if u want ur desk looks kewl go for modd ... if u think thats gonna lag ur system n stuff (like pccrazy said its not just about ram but processing power as well) .. just forget it ..

Freak`

i nvr had that kind of prob ..

aiyark .. y mine so slow when booting.. install objectdock, bootskin, and theme..
running on 512Mb and pentium4 3.9Ghz..

Hah, is UXtheme slower than WB5? Which one eat more RAMs?

I have no problems running WB5, object dock, tune up utilities, and logon studio on 256Mb ram

add more ram haha

Personal experience, WB5 consume much more memory than UXTheme because the patcher just hack the window protection so that we can use other theme besides the default Luna theme. WB5 on the other hand , its another software to modify the theme which uses a different format (.wba)

Some ppl prefer WB because it has alpha-blending but too me, I prefer VS more cause there are more choices

ps: using Eternal 1.2 , the VS 1 is much more nicer while the WB5 eternal startmenu

Hmm, I'm running UXtheme, avedesk, Rk launcher, Taskswtich, raindlender, winfx and IP. All seems to be working fine and it's not really that laggy.

though I have to turn of winfx if I'm running apps like Adobe Photoshop or dreamweaver

Running ObjectDock, Rainlendar, StyleXP, McAfee Security, BitComet, MSN n Yahoo Messenger but never lags..btw my RAM is 512MB and proc is 2500+ Sempron

Yeah, it does lags your computer sometimes if u dun have a lot of RAM to begin with. Windows Blinds 5 cause my laptop tp lag like hell and then i uninstalled it.

guess my processing power p4 2.0ghz is the draw back.. not ram's problem..

I don't think so.. my is a AXP 1.4GHz/512MB

most likely it's the softwares/configs you are running...

hahaha~ objectdock and avedesk the best... took me 2mb+ and 7mb++ only..
btw i running 1gig ram for my pc

i need to know how many plugin you have for your foobar.... it took some time to load my player..

my customisation is only uxtheme and also object dock plus that's all..
i only customise my pc to be convenient and comfortable to look.. not to be extremely fancy..

I started to feel lags even with WB5 switch on

p/s avedesk/samurize etc have similar function right? which one is recommended?

and

i dont find styler to be useful...

samurize is better, if wb is laggy just use uxtheme and resource hack bla bla
