A new addition to this great program is Game Booster , It disables all unneeded processes and defrags the memory, so your games run better![]()
Download Advanced System Care
This is run before you start your game, how much improvement if any is up to you to judge.
You can make a shortcut to the gamebooster , so you dont have to run Advanced System Care every time.

I have most of those services disabled already.
-
it not only disables thoser services but also "intensifies cpu performance" and "cleans ram". isnt this like amd fusion for gaming utlility? or any for other ones that readies a pc for gaming. i heard that these programs dont acutally do much in terms of helping with game performance?

maybe somebody should run 3dmark and see if there is a difference, I am using a 5year old P4 laptop and it wont run 06 or above.
-
Heh, these programs really don't seem all that legitimate to me.
-
yea someone needs to do a full proper review for these programs so the question can finally be put to rest wheter these things work or flop
-
I'm going to guess this is an XP-only program and that Vista users are out of luck, I saw a similar thread months ago and the program didn't do much for me.
-
no this thing works fine with vista 64bit
-
Well I just tried it right now with 3dmark06.
Before- 4080
After- 4083 -
have u tried it in any games tho?
-
I have used a couple of these programs in the past and generally found they did not assist with performance. However, they did assist with keeping alerts, sounds, etc. to a minimum. For someone who keeps getting kicked out of a game because update tried running again or a schedule x started, they may be helpful.

For the most part, background tasks take little to no CPU cycles, just consume RAM until called upon. These days, most people that plan on playing games have a minimum of 2GB RAM, with most games only needing 1GB or so max, with background tasks consuming a few hundred MB only. If you run a lot of background stuff, and don't have the proper amount of RAM, then it will probably be useful.

The only person I would expect this to help is the one who has no idea how to use a computer and has a ton of bloatware and things running. Though I wonder if given a ton of spyware and things running if the program would even be smart enough to turn those off.
Also computers now are much faster than "then" back in the day cutting 4mb of ram was significant when you had 256mb total. Now when the average system has 2-4gb of ram things like this have no real cause.
The same idea applies for cpu cycles as well. -
i always thought that it wasnt the amouint of ram used by the prgram/process but the amount of cpu cycles it uses.
it could be operating silently in the background, checking for specific events to trigger it, but it is still using cpu cycles to check these events...
activesync would be a good example or adobes update program... -

lol i have this program with my advanced system care but i always forget to turn it on when i game haha
-
But yea, the amount of CPU use those background tasks use on modern CPU's is usually less than 0.01% of the total CPU power, they aren't even worth bothering with. The only processes that someone should worry about are ones that are actively taking more than 1-3% of the total CPU power when your system should be idle. -
