what a difference, just came from vista x86 and the speed this start and load are amazing over vista.

im glad i waited out for my ram to go x64 rather then x86.

still now were can i get win 7 themes???

oh and to mention win7 is £65 in tesco, plus if you do it online they have a £5 off if orders are over £50 so makes it a cool £60

Official Windows Themes: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/downloads/personalize?T1=themes

These are basically plugs for various films and brands as far as I can tell. If you do a Google search I am sure you can find many more.

Personally I just get wallpapers from interfacelift and the like and just tweak the Taskbar/titlebar colours. Can't be bothered messing around with "themes".

cheers, i did search but some are chargeable, and also i didnt want to install crap as im desperate to keep this os install mega clean this time. keeping music and docs on a an external hard drive until i order a small gb ssd which will be some time till i can afford the size i want maybe xmas time, making a good present idea!!!!

all ive got running well downloading currently is basic overclock watching utilities and itunes, other then that all personal data will be kept separate!

i may try the title bar and task bar settings as you say

After a while you really don't pay much attention to your desktop and window settings. Which is why I just get a bunch of wallpapers and have them scroll. I change the colour of the Taskbar to suit and then be done with it for months until I fancy a change.

yer i do like the scrolling wallpapers on win 7, as i do like changing my desktop picture most weeks, i just search a random thing like i had the icelands volcano for a few weeks, then had a picture of the sun cresting the earth, picture was taken from space
