That was a 16.4 MB download whereas this one is only 3.74MB. I had previously downloaded an evaluation version of 'Rixane Solar System - Earth 3D v1.1'.

Save | CancelĪt first I confused this screen saver with another in the series 'Rexane Solar System' that was the (Moon) giveaway on January 12. Seriously, 16 MB video RAM for a screensaver?! That's just too high! Laptops running Vista with Aero on probably will experience awfully slow graphics (went to Staples today saw one poor small laptop suffer 10-20 FPS on the Windows screensaver). I think if Astro Gemini's screensavers are going to go mainstream, they need to make it so that they will run on average computers, not near-gaming level PCs (I bet gamers won't bother with screensavers like these). For some really odd reasons, the screensavers run really slowly, 2 weeks ago's screensaver at 4 FPS, and today's at less than 1 FPS.
My computer is a 2001 (or was it 2002-03? I forgot) Dell Dimension 4000i, with 2.6 GhZ processor, 512 MB RAM (of which 8 MB are dedicated to video), and a on-board Intel graphics chipset. On my computer I can (yes, again mentioning) run Half-Life perfectly and Half-Life 2 without too many major slowdowns (it's just the water rendering at that gate in the canals). I think it's the super-high system requirements. There's something about Astro Gemini screensavers that I don't like.
