LinuX desktop looks good espcially with this 1 winter wallpaper on the desktop... I think its the default desktop pic. When ya get that keep it... tHe wall paper will look nice

^^ No performance drop, if you have 256+ Mb of Ram :) and it depends on Desktop Environment too..Here is a short explanation of Memory /CPu usage with compiz :) Compiz= Desktop Effects that you are seeing .. the other mentioned are the Desktop Environment :) Compz + XFCE < Compiz + Gnome < Compiz + KDE

Note: Those SS are posted when I was on 256 Mb Ram and Onboard GPU [though I still have same MB :mad:] .. Also new compiz fusion is much better than older 1 . So if you still have doubts check compiz fusion 0.7x series :)

For newer SS check this :) http://www.techenclave.com/graphics-and-eyecandy/the-desktop-thread-97530.html

^^WHy are you using Utorrent ? Isn't transmission and deluge satisfy your need ? openSUSE comes with Monsoon Bit Torrent Client .. try that too :)

Which GPU Screenlet is that ?
