Summary: Superb!
Review: This has got to be one of the best $20 I have ever spent on software. It is a true gem of realism and relaxation. It works great on PCs with Pentium 550 processors and 128 mg ram. The realism is unbelievable. Well worth the price....

Summary: Very Good
Review: This is a very good screensaver. It is unique and high resolution. It also has a widescreen version (download from their site) for my widescreen notebook. It is a bit pricey, so that dropped it to four stars for me.

Summary: Where are the crabs, seahorses, snails ?
Review: This ss is kinda nice, but there is not enough variety. There should have been a lot more exotic fishes, and crustations like spider crabs, snails, starfishes, etc.There are over a thousand different animals in the ocean, but the programmers decided that it would be easiest to place only a handfull. There should also be an option that lets you "buy" toys to place in the aquarium. Like sunken boats and treasure chests. I hope someone makes a third version of this ss with my above recommendations.

Summary: Look, Ma...My Mac has a Leak
Review: Two words: AWE SOME
The screen 'show' on my flat screen iMac is truly impressive. The lighting, the fish, and the effects are nothing short of breathtaking. Only one fault: installation instructions for Mac OSX fall short of the mark -- they're simply not accurate. (They call out inaccurate File names for their own software and incorrect Mac System Preference File names.) What should have been a simple installation (normal on a Mac), took me 20 minutes. Once I figured out what the instructions REALLY meant, I was up-and-operating in short order. Buy it anyway...in the end, it was worth the frustration.

Summary: Nice looking, but glitchy for me
Review: Without a doubt, this is an impressive looking screensaver. Images are extremely detailed and realistic. The screensaver also has many settings you can configure. However... I've observed this screensaver on two computers, one a Pentium 4 at 2.4Ghz, and the other a Pentium 2 at 450Mhz. On both machines the screensaver caused some minor graphics problems, especially on the P2 computer. Basically I'm referring to the screen freezing up for a few seconds, or the Windows taskbar changing colors. One time half the screensaver was running, and the other half I saw the XP desktop. All the colors were blurred. On my P4 computer, which has an integrated video card, it takes about 5 seconds after I move the mouse for the Windows XP desktop to reappear. With a standard, ordinary screensaver running, the desktop reappears immediately after I move the mouse. I emailed SereneScreen about this, and they suggested I upgrade my video driver. I did so, but that didn't change anything. If your computer has a powerful video card, then this screensaver might work okay. It also wouldn't hurt to have a Pentium 4 processor running at 2Ghz or faster. However, if your computer has an integrated video card, or an older processor, you might run into some problems.
