Useful things to make your desktop cooler

RocketDock - a free docking program which can at your disposal change your PC's taskbar into the mac-based docking system. Available here
CubeDesktop - a free to try, pay to buy program which can essentially turn your desktop into a cube. Turn it around to reveal a new tab of the same desktop but when doing so, experience a very good looking cube simulation appear in front of you. Available here

Feel free to add to this list.

The cube thing is pretty cool but I don't really see myself needing 6 different desktops.

Worst crap to waste more ram, then  vista already is

Obviously you don't know much about Vista or you wouldn't be saying that."

RocketDock looks pretty awesome, only if they made one for XP. :(

Samurize!

Yeah I know. I'm the best. "

It's the exact same thing but for windows.

Because Vista doesn't use more RAM than XP?"

samuraise does it all, you can program it actually, or download presets its 100 percent customisable

i already hate most of the resource management about vista, why torture myself anymore?

If you wonna mod your desktop then Linux is the way to go. You can completely convert your desktop and windowing system in a huge variety of different ways, and of course its all completely free.

Most likely yea. But that is actually a good thing, as weird as that may sound. You see, most of that memory is being used by Vista's Superfetch, which preloads your frequently used programs into your system's memory so that they open faster. As soon as a program is in need of memory, however, Vista will push out some Superfetch data to make more RAM available for said program. So in reality, Vista doesn't waste a single bit of RAM, but instead makes good use of it."

Ive been using RocketDock for over a year, comes in handy, looks cool and i like it.

That sounds like a good idea, is it effective though? Must be a shit load of programs pre-loaded into ram to full up that much, but i guess that depends on how much memory the actual OS is using, on startup my windows XP installation using just over 300mb of ram which is decent."

the way to go for gaming nowadays is 4Gigs and vista 64
So wasted ram shouldn't be an issue.....

i'm glad x64 is finally picking up, i wonder what it'll hold for gaming in the future when 4-8-16GB becomes more mainstream :D
