“Or if you want to see an epic load of system resources including the high quality Mac hardware icons, drag the entire /System/CoreServices/ folder into Preview to load up about 6000 graphic elements that form the user experience of Mac OS X itself.”

It’s /System/Library/CoreServices, not /System/CoreServices

It runs out of RAM and does crash if you have too many apps open, you’d think it would allocate memory better.

Check out Lion Tweaks. It does it automated.
