Game Booster
There are different versions of this software but this ones seems palateable enough
Game booster, shuts down aspects of windows etc.... that are not needed for gaming to cut down on the amount of resources that are used

But you are installing yet another program. Shutting down programs can be done easily.

So, when in your system tray, how resource hungry is this program. I imagine it's KBs!!
Anyone give examples of what it shuts down... just programs in the background or services too?

you have 6b of ram though, if you had like 1gb I could see the need for something like this if you were unsure of what apps to close but with your setup it might be kinda useless to you

Here is a review of it and it's a good review: http://gamepyre.propagation.net/revi...pc/1115_1.html
I just wish I could find some information on what it specifically shuts down/optimizes. |

And no i dont use it on my system....
Well it shuts down windows services which arent used/ needed like group policy bollucks... and closes items in your system tray, they are all returned when game booster is shutdown so you dont have to reboot.. renable

To the OP, I was thinking there is no way he needs this. This sounds like a gimmick for an old slow computer like a dial-up booster, but the review says other wise? (Haven't looked yet)

I wounder if this helps games like GTA4, i know defraging the GTA 4 folder can give 1-5 FPS extra by using contig more in some cases..
Might even help some with games like Arma 2 as well. And because you have a kick ass comp don't mean you can not more reasonable performance out of it. Will give it a try now and if i get the time tomorrow i'll post some differences... |

Very nice! A lot of the programs I already have permanently disabled but there are a bunch in there that aren't. Going to give it a try.

this is great - because alot of services being disabled are great for games and crunching apps, but sh*T if you're just trying to use the OS - and using office programs that depend on some of these services.
this toggle is perfect. |
