HNNNNNG.
 
Not cool enough to have a GT wallpaper yet. What's the resolution of the original photos?

My desktop. I randomly change the wallpaper, since I often get bored.
Windows 7 with "Windows Classic" theme, since its lighter and my PC specs are not that high. Athlon II x2 240, 4Gigs 1066Mhz, ATi 4850 512Mb.

I don't use Rainmeter that often, but thought it went well with this photo I took in GT5's Photo Mode. I was playing about with the positioning of the clock/date for a good 20 minutes, I'm still not 100% sure if I'm happy with it. I don't know if I should have it in the middle of the mirror (like in the image above), or to move it up so it's level with the mirror. Any suggestions?

....I have the same processor and RAM size (but on a different Mhz speed), just have the MSI HD4850 1GB version. It seems to run pretty well with all the standard, normal eye candy stuff in Windows 7, so you should be able to do the same as well.

Do you have a stock heatsink or a third party heatsink for the processor? Might be worth getting a third party big heatsink and just clocking the processor to a 3Ghz speed. It'll easily cope with the slight overclock as I have that running here, on two monitors, one a 24 inch 1920x1200 and the other, a 15 inch 1024x768.

I would be rather surprised if you had to dial it down because the processor was chugging along with the standard eye-candy stuff as it shouldn't happen to that dual core processor.
 
Haven't posted my desktop around here for quite a while...

Well I haven't put my desktop in this thread in a long time, but here goes my current one:

How are you getting the tile properties to work that smoothly? From what I've seen, the origin of a tiled wallpaper starts at the primary display and goes to the right from there. Or do you just have it so your left most monitor is the primary?
