Have you heard of RK Dock?

[Plastique]

I started using objectdock because it keeps the desktop tidy looking, but I keep using it mostly because of sysstats. I did have 6 seperate widget programs running and it was killing my pc. Objectdock and sysstats does it all for a fraction of the memory. Even my old 1ghz celeron doesn't slow down with it. I still enjoy bashing Stardock, but I have to give em credit(card) when it comes to OD+.

My desktop has one icon on it. The recyccle bin. It also as rainlendar on it, and samurize, but that's it. I personally only ever use it as a temp folder. I stick exe's there for virus scanning, wallpapers and VS zips befoer I stick them in the themes or wallapers folder in My Documents or windows\resources.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not knocking those who whose them, I've just never seen the practicality.

My friends make fun of me, because even though I have 1.5GB of RAM, i never install anything like this because it uses Memory.  :)

Memory is precious.....

I personally don't run a dock. Not because of mem usage, I just don't prefer to use one. However I do download them and try them out, I'm just curious.

But having 1.5Gb of memory and choosing to not run a program because of mem usage is just pure insanity. It's not like the program is going to keep the memory, it's just borrowing it.

Think of your computer as a tool, use your computer man. Don't let the computer use you.

I'll be looking into this for sure. I'm using Y'z right now but this one sounds like it could be quite nice (Y)

Yes, a whole 649Kb is going to cripple the performance of your PC :rolleyes:

I have a tip for you.Format and install MS-Dos.You will save much memory. :devil:

This is crazy! USE you computer.Don't think like that.Right now i have 227MB of 512MB and I run many many things.But that is memory for,use it. :rofl:

Now why to use a dock.I will not tell you why or why not.Just try it for a month and if you don't like it just...unistall it.Is not a drug to stick with it. :devil:

Being afraid of useing memory or cpu cycles on eyecandy is just so lame. Even if you are a hard line gamer, you can easly turn windowblinds ,and docks and things off while playing. As for yzdock it only uses resorses when you use it. Even a simple window uses resorses when it is moved around. open your taskmanager ,drag it around and watch the cpu usage clmb. This wine about cpu usage is a concern from when xp first came out and was installed on 500 mhz 128 mb machines, back then it was a concern, with todays machines on average 2ighz up to 4ghz, with at least 512 memory, I can't see the concern. If you must have all resorses for gameing then simply setup another account for gameing and see that nothing starts up n that account. Or follow the black viper's guide on setting up resorse profiles for gameing or regular computing. You can get a gaming profile with next to nothing running then reboot to your regular pc profile. Any way I use YZ dock, windowblinds and cursor xp , I have only 25 running processes, and lots of free memory, and cpu cycles.
