WindowBlinds on my machine uses 2,588k....and IE6 is using 16,180k as I type this...
Any graphical process/program will benefit by a decent graphic card....

The simple answer is no, it does not use "a lot". But everything is relative. On my system Zonealarm sucks up a bit more memory than windowblinds! You have to take into acccount your OS, RAM, Video card and its RAM, the particular skin you are loading, how your computer handles resources, etc... Just give it a try, paly with it and have fun.

Don't 'paly' with it....you'll go blind...
'Play' with it instead....Spell checker

Very much so. That's a GeForce 2 MX card, yes? I recommend you get the latest Detonator 4 drivers from NVIDIA if you haven't done so already - they have a significant effect on WB performance.
