This though will all depend on the specs on your computer like how much RAM, and what type of processor you have (see our Tech Terms post <a href="http://teentechblog.com/2007/12/19/basic-computer-terms/" rel="nofollow">here</a> to find out bout them), as well as what other programs you use that are running when you try to use these programs. If your computer seems to be running a lil slow, check out our post <a href="http://teentechblog.com/2008/05/19/free-and-easy-ways-to-protect-and-speed-up-your-computer/" rel="nofollow">here</a> on ways to speed it up. Enjoy, and if you got any other questions feel free to reply. -- Eli Hey Samira,

There are also other alternatives for widgets like for Vista users Windows Sidebar and Gadgets, and for everyone (both XP and Vista) a program by Yahoo called Yahoo Widgets. All three work well and are free (though you need Vista for Windows Sidebar) through their respective sites (Yahoo Widgets- http://widgets.yahoo.com/ , Google Gadgets (part of Google Desktop program which lets you easily search for programs and files on your computer)- http://desktop.google.com/en/ ) Just a little word of note- these programs, while both useful and free, can quickly slow down your computer if you have many widgets or gadgets open at one time and you should therefore have a little caution when using them.
