I got a question, all those gadgets/widgets running at the desktop and all the eye candy from semi transparent windows and skins , does it really take its toll on system performance ? does it effect PC performance like make it running slower....if I have dual channel 256MB X 2=512MB RAM in my system, is it OK to do medium level skinning, not too heavy or advance skinning ?

thanks j slade, ur reply was a very very informative one.....

edit: I just thought of this question, asked at other thread before sometime back but no response , anyway, can we use yahoo widgets (formerly known as konfabulator) without installing the yahoo widget programme at the first place ? I mean would (yahoo) widgets integrate with (window) widgets without anything need to be installed ?

bro, thanks for ur reply but I think I didnt make my question clear here ...or perhaps I didnt quite get the part where I bolded above...

my question is rather on whether those widgets from yahoo and gadgets from windows will integrate with windows vista's gadget engine without installing yahoo widget programme ? as far as I know and not mistaken so far, yahoo ones are with .widget extention while windows ones are with .gadget...we know both widgets and gadgets are same thing and works in a similar ways just that they come from 2 different companies of brands...
