Yes, this is possible with KDE, and yes it does lighten the burden on the processor a little. When I'm doing the cube spinning thing, I do not see the CPU spike that much. When do a lot of things in here, I do not see the CPU spike. So things look very nice, and seem to be running without pegging the processor. As for KDE, I've read all over that even though all the bells and whistles don't work....a lot of them do. So it's probably still worth giving it a try. I've seen PICs: http://www.flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/112808351/ ...and things look fine.
