Will OSX run OK on approx 374MB of RAM? Also on my PC torrents go awful slow (much slower than normal downloads) is there a way I can make it faster?

No. OS X will want at least 512MB or more of RAM. It will probably run, but it won't be extremely fast.

And your download rate is proportional to your upload rate. Higher upload speed = higher download speed. :)

I think I will try that. The emulator still gets a little laggy sometimes. And I don't like lag :P Thanks for showing me that! :D

Nice desktops btw. They're nice! :) Can you upload that wallpaper you've got there?

Oh, until I have that much RAM I will just make Ubuntu look like OSX.:D What type of text does Mac use, I need to know for customizing Ubuntu.

Now i wonder how much of your resources are being used just MONITORING your resources.......

Seems excessive

Well, the widget in the upper right doesn't use much at all, it just reads the speedfan log. The bar monitors update every 30 seconds (the hard drives every 5 minutes) so it isn't a drain. Trust me, if they took a lot of resources I wouldn't use them :). I go in stages of being a F@H fanatic, and closely guarding my CPU resources :D. Right now I'm content with the PPD I'm getting, so I'm not scraping for resources like sometimes.

Ah but the Folding@Home SMP client fully utilises dual-core CPU's instead of just one core.

Well, two normal clients utilize a dual core CPU just as much. But yes, the SMP client is amazing; right now (with my processor at 3360Mhz) I get between 630 and 740PPD, depending on the WU.

It is Yahoo Widgets, and the widget is called Speedfan temperature widget.

Here's my setup with Rambo's uber cool background:

Just got 7.04 'Feisty Fawn' working on my OptiPlex and this is the result, quite boring at the moment but it will get more interesting!

I decided to update my old Ubuntu theme to something a little bit nicer.
