Default Matrix Desktop Overlay with Screensaver

ok.... this is kool... I cant take credit for the find at Lokie was the one how done that... but.... This is just tha POO!!

Basically I know most or atleast half of PCX's membership has been captivated by the Matrix Trilogy.. And more than not alof of you have probably looked for animated gif's and screen savers to capture that facination on your desktop PC.... well.... I never found something that was free or good.... so... I gave up..... Lokie just pointed me to a site that has BOTH.... all be it..... he does ask for a donation as best I can tell the program is FREE!!!

Basically what it does is creates an overlay type system over your Desktop Background... it is HIGHLY configurable.... and you can chance the color's even have it stream over your favorite background image or even have the characters coming down show the background through them..... you can set the speed, decay EVERYTHING... Its truely a Matrix Pimps Program!!

So check it out... HERE


**Note** I am not getting paid nor is this spam as most of you should already know.. I just think its totally awesome and any matrix fan should have this!!

Oh..... And please.... click the about button for the program..... lol...

only thing I didnt like is when you click on any links in the about... it assumes IE as your browser.... I use Firefox now.... so it was kinda like WTF.... oh well

My last system really went south on me....I would have lock ups at a complete random occurrence. The bickest problem was opening a word document, lock ups were garunteed?

So this is the new SLI set up....not one lock up yet!! The SLI set up, in non SLI mode, lets you run 3 monitors with no problems. My monitors are 2 MAG 19" LCD's and the center is an SGI 22" LCD. Or I could drop all three and use my 27" LCD TV for a serious frag night!
