A question

[RyanLewis]

Ok, you know most xp computers the theme says Windows XP (Style_ and the colour scheme is Default(Blue).
Well my friend some how has a theme called Royale on there, how would i get this? and also he has some software that next to the time in the right hand corner shows his p.c temperature. Where do i get it from and if so would it work with laptops?
Thanks
Ryan

[alexandergre]

it will slow down your computer if your system is not so fast.
the best way is to install windows xp media center edetion.

I don't have any money to do it though.

 

[alexandergre]

the skin is free.
but the windows xp media center costs and yu have to buy one.

Will it be a dramatic speed decrease? and can i remove it when i have it and if so will it then increase the speed again.

It shouldn't be too bad, do you know what your specs are?

oooooh......That's not a lot of RAM at all, the processor is pretty good, but I still think it will slow down since you don't have so much RAM, I wouldn't recommend it. I'd rather have speed then looks.

Its because i use a laptop, and how much slower would it go?
