Screensaver.

I have looked all over for a good screensaver that works well in dual-head. The windows ones are nice & work great in dual-head normally, but they're boring. I have found a few that work fairly well in dual-head & are more interesting (matrix one comes to mind), but they genearally are WAYYYY to slow (matrix one keeeps the CPU level at 100% - not ideal for just a screensaver).

Here are my requirements:

Uses both monitors
Fairly low CPU requirements (uses less than 75% cpu power on a 1.6ghz athlon)
loads/exits fairy quickly
pleasing to the eye

doesn't having four requirements violate some fundamental law of software engineering that says no software can have more than three requirements, especially if you want it to work correctly? ;)

And in all honesty, if you're worried about finding a good dual-head screensaver, I think I'd like to help you find a hobby. ;) I don't have time to worry about screensavers let ALONE dual-head ones... and I even have dual-head.

Boy am I in a weird mood tonight. :)

Hey, just messin' with ya'... and no, I don't really know of any such screensavers, it's a pretty tight niche market for that sort of thing, probably aren't a whole lot of them out there.

Getting dual head has always pretty much used up my resources, no matter what kind of saver I had on. Having extra mammary has usually helped cut down my re-boot time, but nothing takes the place of a more capable hard drive. Floppies are useless in this situation, and rebite-ables are a pain to format.

Hot swapping, though, now that's just SCSI. Reliability is overrated, however. Who wants a server that'll never go down on you?

Many female wannabe's put too many drives in their chassis, and end up overheating. And overcocking can fry your peripherals.

Rremember, girls, if you've got an overloaded bus, that's WAY too much input for you to process, no matter how many cock cycles you go through.

Finally, ewwwwww, clean your mouse.
