    I can't remember who, and I have searched and can't find it but I remember someone posting about this program that is like Task Manager, but shows you what you can safely endtask so that you can get rid of processes in the background (So you can optimize for Gaming Performance). Running BF2 and only have 1 Gig with my 7800 so it chugs for the first 25 seconds on High Settings (After that Smoooothe as butter)

    I would take a look at the Tuning up guide in the Guides section - really gives some nice performance boosts.
