IncreasE CPU Performance?
Mar 23, 2008I'm really interested in a possibility of increasing my CPU performance on my Vista Ultimate 32-bit PC. Cooler Master Gemin II processor cooler (non-stock) Note: Windows Experience Index is 3.0 because of Processor, all other ratings are 4.5 and higher! Note 2: I have all newest motherboard (and other) drivers! Question: Should I try overclocking, and if yes, by how much, and how?

Jun 8, 2009I have a Dell 710H2C, Quad Core, 4GB RAM (soon to be 6GB), 2 striped 10,000 RPM HDD's, 2 Nvidia 8800 GTX SLI video cards. OS is Vista 64 ultimate. I am an avid World of Warcraft and Counterstrike player. I want to improve the performance of my system. Frame rates stink when the graphics are maxed. This system should be performing a lot better. Sometime frame rates drop to 20FPS. Been reading a lot of stuff on-line about improving performance. First off when I run SLI mode games usually lock-up. Been told by Blizzard tech support that they don't support SLI. Ready to pull my hair out!

View 8 Replies View RelatedPossibility For Gaming Performance Increase?
Jan 19, 2009i have a laptop here that my aunt bought for me..... but it doesn't seem to be able to run most games even at LOW settings properly. It can run some games though. I believe that is because i'm using an integrated graphics card. I'm using the Nvidia Geforce 7150M
I have NO intention of maxing out games... i just want to play a few lower-end games on low-slightly higher than low. I hear that i can install a new graphics card over the integrated one and make the computer ignore the integrated card. My questions are :
1. If i do this is there a possibility for gaming performance increase?
2. Is it even possible?
3. What graphics cards can i get?
4. Can i get an EXTREMELY detailed (stupid-person proof) guide on exactly what to do?
Increase Network Performance When Playing Media
Apr 3, 2008Windows Vista throttles your network bandwidth when you are playing any multimedia file such as an MP3 or a video. This was designed to ensure the CPU has enough free cycles available to play your media without skipping. Â The down side is that when you are playing a multimedia file you will notice that your network speed of file transfers will decrease on high speed network connections. By default when you are playing a multimedia file your network transfers are limited to 10 packets per millisecond.
In Windows Vista SP1 Microsoft introduces a registry key that allows you to customize this setting....
Hard Drives Performance Increase Boots
Apr 23, 2009I have two physical hard drives. Both are identical. I want to move my Page File to my second drive to see if I get a performance increase. I did some research and learned that you must keep a small page file on your C drive because Windows writes a small amount of data to the C drive upon boot. Does anybody have experience with this setup?

Mar 28, 2009I just recently purchased a new laptop with the following specs:.....It shipped with 32-bit Home Premium, but I was thinking about using 64-bit. I use Photoshop CS3, MS Office, the usual apps really. Will there be any performance increases with x64? Will there be more power usage with x64? Could the machine be slower due to Macro-Op Fusion being disabled in EM64T mode? All of apps I have will work on x64, but which one is more efficient for my notebook?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHow To Increase System System Performance
Jun 10, 2009I thought I would share this with you all, a few little tricks to boost Windows performance. If you have a spare USB flash drive or you are willing to get a cheap say 1GB flash drive. First we plug in the flash drive. Go to Disk Manager and assign it a drive letter, like Z: (this is just to get it out of the way and optional). Go to Advanced system settings, Evironment variables. Change the Temp variable under User to Z: (I didn't see any point creating folders, but that's optional). Change the Temp variable under System variable to Z:
This will cut down on I/O traffic to the hard drive. Starting an app like Word, would cause the HD to read the program into memory while at the same time writing into the drive, temporary files. This causes an I/O queue to form and degrade Windows performance. By off loading some of the I/O traffic to another storage device, the hard drive read/write head doesn't have to move around as much either. All performance gains.
Another trick I tried was moving Windows Search Index to a flash drive, but it won't let me select even a 16GB flash drive. Even though the Index doesn't grow beyond 1GB. It's max size seems to be just under 1GB. You can move to it to a removable drive, though. I rebuilt the Index on an external 500GB USB drive. Again, this cuts down I/O traffic to the internal hard drive..........

Slow Performance Within Vista
Nov 8, 2007I've finally decided to jump on the Vista boat ( or off the XP boat as it may be ), so I've installed Vista64 on my secondary hard drive and have been trying to get it in shape to use all week.
Unfortunately it hasn't been going smoothly. I've had no crashes or lockups to speak of, but my performance within Vista is just abysmal. The windows chug as they scroll around, and launching Internet Explorer is an exercise in frusteration. In particular, any page with a Flash ad running at the top absolutely cripples me.
I'd have to guess that something is amiss with my graphical setup. I'm using an EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS as my display adapter, which is currently rated 2.9 in Windows Aero, and 5.9 for Gaming Graphics. Everything else is right around 5.0. The Gaming score seems on par with what I've heard elsewhere, but 2.9 seems pretty low for Aero. Does this sound funny to anyone else?
I've installed every update available, with the exception of Extras and Language packs. I've gotten the latest Forceware driver for Vista64 ( 169.04 ), as well as all the Windows Update hotfixes that Nvidia reccomends.
Does anyone have any further suggestions that I should try? Or does anyone have similar hardware with much better performance?
Can Improve Vista Performance?
Apr 16, 2008i am about to tell you about what happend to vista on monday and a few other things. on monday windows vista ultimate was working fine i had to shut my computer down because i went to the gym then when i got back i turned on my pc then it went through its usual loading then right about when vista was about to startup after the cursor appeared then i waited and it did not boot up and it stayed at a black screen so i tried using last know good configuration on my pc booted up good then i logged in and just as the log on screen faded out then it locked up then i tried it again then the windows vista splash thing came on then i hear one note of the tune reapeating and the only thing i could do is restore from my backup so i did that and now my computer is back at last backup i did.
then i was using it yesterday my computer was working fine on vista and window vista starts getting choppy with me like its not being smooth and im trying to figure out why im not getting smooth performance plus vista did lock up when i shutted it down vista did not lock up on me on before the booting up issue occured
is there anyway i can improve vista performance?
Speed Up The Performance Of Vista
Jun 27, 2008I apologize in advance if this is longer than needed. Long question short, what can I do to improve my system performance or what am I doing wrong to improve it? Before I continue, I’ve read the “Speed Up the Performance of Vista” thread numerous times with no real success. My laptop isn’t extremely slow, it tends to be a little sluggish when scrolling on web pages [Mozilla and IE(have tried both 32 and 64bit editions of IE)], when scrolling in my music in iTunes (especially in Cover Flow), or when the system is left on for a day or two. I started with a clean install to avoid problems and to update all drivers necessary. On the Cover Flow, I have a friend with a latop with half the power of mine and it scrolls through the Cover Flow flawlessly (he has Home Premium 32bit).
Throughout the forum threads on this issue I see a lot that Vista simply takes time to update everything necessary. I’ve been running on it for about 4 months now. All drivers up to date, all Windows updates downloaded and installed as soon as they come out, and the system in protected with anti virus software. Here come the inquiries. 1) Can that be a problem? I am running McAfee on it. 2) Also, is my computer simply not able to handle all of it? When sluggish, the faster I try to scroll, especially iTunes, the slower it actually scrolls, obviously, but the CPU never goes past 25-35% of usage. Same with RAM, staying at 40% or so. My lowest score in my index score is my memory with a 5.0. Not sure of the brand currently installed, but I know its 4GB at 667, I’m a Crucial fan, 3) so upgrading to Crucial memory also for 4GB but at 800 it will it significantly increase my score? 4) Therefore performance? I’ve tried using the system with all the neat features disabled, transparency, etc, but same issues remain. I’d like to think my system can handle the neat features. .....
Vista's Performance And Reliability Monitor?
Jul 29, 2009I was just discovering and playing a bit with Vista's Performance and Reliability Monitor. To my dismay I had to realize that for some reason that monitor stopped recording about a year ago, i.e. the System Stability Chart shows data from the time I bought the machine until about a year ago but doesn't show any newer data. It could well be, that I inadvertently disabled some service or feature at that time. How do I get this monitor back to life, i.e. what service or whatever do I have to (re-)enable to get obtain fresh data again?
