Did you know that using a screensaver not only helps keep your monitor last longer, it also helps save you power?
The monitor and displays are the biggest consumers of power in your PC, yes, even bigger than a normal central processing unit (now if your CPU is super buffed up, like one for gaming with fancy shmancy attachments, it might be another mater entirely) so it simply makes sense that when your monitor temporarily turns itself off through the screensaver, you save power.
When doing long tasks like scanning for viruses and spyware and malware, or defragging your disk, converting or rendering videos or photos, downloading files or copying large files, burning a CD or DVD – more or less tasks that render your PC slower – always have a screen saver kick in after a couple of minutes so that you can save up on power.

• Go to Windows Photo Gallery.
• Click the pictures you want to display in the slide show. If you have more than one picture, hold down the CRTL key and click on those photos you want to include.
• click the “slide show” button located at the bottom of the photo gallery.
• If you don’t choose any picture, Windows Vista will play all the photos filed in the picture gallery once you click on “slide show.”
• remember that you can control the speed of your slide show.
Tip # 1: People like to apply several themes to their Windows Vista screen savers so that pictures (and videos) can be displayed in a variety of ways. Some themes cover the entire screen with one picture at a time, while others will show several simultaneously.
Tip # 2: Not all slide show themes work on all computers, says Microsoft. If the screensaver can’t run with a particular theme, your computer’s video card needs to be replaced with a more powerful one.

Are you loving the look and feel of Windows Vista screensaver but can not afford the memory cost Windows Vista OS requires? Worry not because you can still enjoy four of Windows Vista screensavers in your Windows XP OS (operating system). These screensavers are ported to XP descriptions. The four patched Vista screensavers can be downloaded from WinMatrix and Softpedia.

The four Windows Vista screensavers include Aurora screensaver, Bubbles screensaver, Mystify screensaver and Ribbons screensaver.
So now you see, you dont need to drag yourself for not having more RAM than you have now because you can still get that Vista theme with your Windows XP.
