    It’s rare case, which happends only if you have FullHD screen and PC husing HD graphics card with HD wallpapers and stuff in your PC.
    This is because the screen needs more memory for itself and therefore it has to cut it from somewhere .. in this case your PC’s performance.

    Not really. One thing that should greatly improve the speed is to go on your Desktop, right-click and select properties. Then, under the Themes tab choose Windows Classic. The new themes in XP use much more memory than this one.

    if you have an older computer, it might slow it down. this is because the computer uses ram to display the image, and if the image is HD quality, it takes up more ram. for the most part, anything that you do on your computer like installing and running programs will slow down your computer. just limit what you are doing at any particular time

    No it will not slow it down. Whats the difference between a normal and a high-def wall papers, a mere 2-3 mb. This wallpapers kind of stuff takes up your system RAM and wont effect much with increase in 3-4 mb. You can see how much RAM is being utilized in displaying the windows themes by checking the memory usage of the explorer.exe process in the task manager(press ctrl+shift+esc).
    Rest depends on your system configuration and how you have overloaded it. If you are having sufficient RAM, like 256 mb or 512 mb for XP or 1gb for vista/7, then its perfectly ok.
    Search google to know how to speed up your pc.

    hey hi,
    yes maybe. its depend on your ram mostly if you have at least 2gb ram with xp or 4 gb with win 7 .
    then you can enjoy any MP or any resolution images.

    HD picture = large file size

    large file size = eats up more memory

    more memory used by non-essentials = less memory for running programs

    less memory for programs = more disk access for cache

    more caching done = slower computer

    slower computer = user has lesser hair
