In a nutshell it involves whittling down the programs running in the background so only those that are necercary are running,getting rid of all spyware and rogue software,and getting rid of all the temp files windows has stashed all over your harddrive. In many cases this does miles more benifit then an upgrade,makes a sluggish grumpy comp into a mean lean instantly responsive fist-fighting machine.	metla (154)
250139	2004-07-08 14:08:00	Mirrdes...fork out $220 odd dollars and get a 9600 Pro and u ll be better off.... Greg S, seriously ..go online and look for some screen shots of farcry with pixel shader 2.0 or 3.0 ...or UT2k4 with 8xAA 16xAF at 1280 x 1024 and tell me UR games look good!! A FX5200 is no better than a GF4 MX with DX 9 support, it will by no means handle any new games at a playable framerate!! And by god...if u think 25 to 35 fps is playable...then I guess u really a not much of a gamer at all....	Kenshin (2501)

250142	2004-07-09 06:08:00	Greg S, seriously ..go online and look for some > screen shots of farcry What the x is far cry? Why should I compare it with what I play (I assume it's a game) with pixel shader 2.0 or 3.0 > ...or UT2k4 with 8xAA 16xAF at 1280 x 1024 and tell > me UR games look good!! > And by god...if u think 25 to > 35 fps is playable... Meet me in an online game, 1 vs 1 and you'll see! > then I guess u really a not much > of a gamer at all.... I agree with Metla - what kinda standard are u trying to impose! lol lol :^O	Greg S (201)
250143	2004-07-09 06:55:00	>Meet me in an online game, 1 vs 1 and you'll see! that doesn't mean that if u are playing against someone who is as good as you, the person on a comp running at 60+fps will not own you O . o Far Cry, is a new and very good FPS games that uses the latest technologies in graphics cards . . . . what I was trying to point out is that if you play a game like that, even if you can run it . . you will be missing out on what is now considered an integral part of gaming ==> IQ "Image Quality" . And trust me, if you get use to playing a game on 60+ fps you will NOT be able to go back down to 20+ FPS and still enjoy the game!!	Kenshin (2501)
250144	2004-07-09 07:04:00	Largely true,although some people on a near dead dial up and suffering a poor framerate can still kick ass,skill after all being the biggest factor. Besides,my desktop only has a g4ti,please comence telling me im no gamer. And i bite. Especially at teh stupids.....1111....l337.....and all that jazz.	metla (154)
