Author Topic: Process Tamer speeds up my games & internet speed! (Read 22291 times)

clairvoyant christopher · « **on:** April 17, 2010, 10:01 AM »

I've been using Process Tamer for a few months now & it works very good! The real secret on how to speed up your computer without overclocking the CPU, is to use as many of these Priority/CPU Boosting programs as you can. And the reason for this is because when you combine all of these programs together they increase the pulling power on the CPU, especially if your using High or Realtime Priority!
I also use Priority Master 2009, Process Lasso, Abexo Process Tweak, BoostKit, iTopsoft PC Speeduper, Wlording Speedup PC, System Speedup Wizard, Optimum XP, Resource Optimizer, PC Boost 4, MCS System Optimizer, Mem Optimizer and XFistor PC Power UP. I've also noticed that when you use these programs, they will work better on High priority. This is because a lot of programs don't respond as well on Realtime. All of these proigrams have increased my games frame rates, computer speed and Internet speed by at least 50%!

To me your list of speedup software seems overly excessive. I suspect a lot of overlapping functionality within this set.

When you start a gaming session, would it not be smarter to disable (MS Windows and 3rth party) services and other background tasks (indexing for example) that are not essential for the game? Throwing in the famous car analogy...'nothing beats cubic inches'.

Go and look at sites like www.blackviper.com to see which services can be disabled. Besides spending some time this solution is free, unlike all those more or less 'snakeoil' type of software you mentioned.

I did not spend that much on the software I don't know where you got your info from. I'm not recomending that you buy all the software. The average person would only need up to 3 programs. Since I'm a hard core gamer I need all the speed that I can get on my computer. Process Lasso is only $8,95 bt the way. And you have not even tried any of the software out to know or to back up your predictions, you're not a psychic.

I looked at each app's official site. I have only tried Process Lasso.
I'm not a hardcore gamer, however I use my computer for realtime audio processing and I need every drop of performance it can get (and prevent it from crashing mid-gig

) and I'm also a programer and reverser. I can assure most of the 'accelerator' apps are snake oil at best.

Good site I remember that being one of the main links to speed up Vista

True your PC needs a few main things but Vista runs a lot of garbage the average user never touches

Shades · « **Reply #15 on:** April 18, 2010, 11:30 AM »

I used to make batch scripts that enabled/disabled services for what I was about to do. Gaming? Disable a lot of services that are not required by the game in question. Done gaming? Enable the services again.

This has never lead me into any trouble other than finding out which service is required for a game. Most people seem to think that all services need to run all the time, which is not the case.

Spending a bit of time with the cli command 'sc' and use what you find in simple batch scripts (together with a little bit of common sense) gains you more speed than any of the snake-oil mentioned in this thread. The black viper webpage makes it easier to differentiate between not-so-essential and essential services.

What strikes me as strange is that people who find out about the Black Viper site, make changes and then call for help because something goes wrong. The site also shows what the default service setting should be in case something goes wrong. Can people not change back to the default state which is shown to them? More or less next to suggested change?

Sorry, but that kind of stupidity does hardly compute with me. Such things make me always think: 'User error, replace user and continue'

Then again, if persons like Innuendo and scancode can make an honest pay for repair, more power (and cold hard cash) to them

Hmmm... I don't really think it was a joke post. And though the solutions may not be applicable, the way that this was pointed out didn't seem apropos of the whole DC community feel. You can give information in a way that doesn't seem condescending- especially to someone that's new to the site.

Try appbooster which has a free version and the pro is on sale with 40% discount.

Iobit advanced system care has a game mode function that can help you in that aiml. Otherwise now security softs propose also gaiming edition. The best is to free ram and Uniture Memory Booster is a good one.

Well, after the discussion on the Malwarebytes forum some months ago about Iobit's stealing Malwarebytes' proprietary database and using it in their software, I wouldn't touch anything Iobit produces or claims to produce. For more information about this, see, for example, http://malwarebytes.besttechie.net/2009/11/02/iobit-steals-malwarebytes-intellectual-property/ and http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=33217.

+1 with you on that.

He's been responsible for a very nice fix-it project* we recently got called in to do - but shouldn't have. Too bad BV doesn't have a "make donation" button on his website. I almost feel I owe him something.

Generally, it's a bad idea to go "cookbook" if you're gonna ditz with system settings. There's really no good substitute for actually understanding a bit about what you're changing around.

But if you do insist on going the cookbook route, at least be sure you read all the instructions - and follow them to the letter...

My client didn't.

ka-ching!!!

*(Just in case anybody's interested - it was a video editing workstation they were trying to get a "performance boost" out of because they had a deadline coming up and were running late.)

There's also imaging software to image your machine before you make wholesale changes so you can get back to where you are. With them being so useable now, I just don't see how you don't have an image if you're getting ready to do something that you *know* you don't understand...

Hi Cyberdiva, well this fight between malwarbytes and iobit started since iobit proposed to their users to make a comparative reports on how iobit security 360 manage infrctions alerts, so they started to make reports and test against free antimalware softs, such as superantuspyware, malwarebytes antimalwre... and reports camed that iobit behaved well compared others and also the testers used themselves virus files for testing and iobit didnt provided those, but sure iobit has also virus database that are updated if users sends some new ones.

I have foound WinTuning Vister that has more features than the free Vista Services Optimizer, also Wintuning vister is not expensive, so here is the link to check the properties plus the trial mode is for 15 days.
