    what screen saver do you use.

    also dose any one know were i can get a screen saver like the one on the new iMacs, (the one that the dot moves around and creates interesting patterns) that works on PCs.

    I think mine is set to the standard Win XP screensaver, although I always turn off my monitor when leaving the computer so I don't really see it.

    Me too, that and having a screensaver enabled takes up precious resources that could otherwise be used for Super-Pi :D

    3D text with "Powered by AMD" text. :) plain and booring, but it works for me. Screen saver after 5min, suspend after 15min. I leave my pc running in my room 24/7 so I need the monitor to shut off at night... If only my CPU fan (80CFM 80mm Vantec Tornado) could be quieter at night too...

    Standard 2kpro one on windows, and some random openGL thing on Mandrake, looks kinda purdy tbh!
