Is WB5 that much more of a system hog than 4.6 then? As I say, never had a problem with 4.6. WB5 runs fine on one of my laptops which only has a PIII 700Mhz processor and an 8Mb on-board graphics chip, but admittedly does have 312 Mb RAM, also running XP Pro.

AFAIK it should be more optimized than 4.6 and I had no problems with my 800MHz Duron and Geforce2

No, well it shouldn't be. On my machine it runs more quickly and uses less resources than WB4.6. Can't remember exactly where now, but I read that WB5 is more integrated into the OS and is designed to use far less system resources than WB4.6, so if your machine ran that okay, then it should be able to run WB5 with those same resources, given that your graphics card supports it.

This update doesn't let Vista XP glass norma WB5 have transparent title bar, but the compact version of it is transparent. odd .
