cpu usage on screen savers
Wednesday, February 13, 2008 by JavaFiend | Discussion: Personal Computing
I have a question regarding screen savings and cpu usage. I found some I like and one in particular has my cpu usage at 50% while it is running. I am running a new dell optiplex 755 dual core with 2gb ram, and dual monitors hooked up to a 256mb GeForce graphics card.
My question is does it "hurt" to run this screen saver with cpu usage that high? I have it set so my monitors turn off after one hour, but I don't know if that drops cpu usage or not. Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks.
