The graphics card has to render the image & has to perform work to do it. It can slow other things down. Same thing happens with 100 icons on your desktop.
Are you serious Dr. peter??? 256 MB of ram to offset a 4MB wallpaper?
100 icons and 4 meg backround files haven't been an issue since 2 meg vid cards, and even back then the difference was only somewhat noticable.
Btw, 'render' is not the right term to use when discussing a simple wallpaper. 'display' is more correct. The word Render is used to describe the work done to process something that does not yet exist in its final form. Like a movie (Toy Story) or a 3D game.
Thank you all for your help, but i think that my computer could use another 256 mb of rdram cause of my win xp-pro.
It would increase overall performance don't you think?
