Game performance

[Guest]

Hello,

I am having a bit of trouble with some games slowing down even though I meet
or exceed minimum specs. Here are my computer specs.

Time of this report: 8/28/2006, 16:27:34
Machine name: STUBERCOMPUTER
Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack
2 (2600.xpsp.050928-1517)
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: Gateway
System Model: GT5082
BIOS: )Phoenix - Award WorkstationBIOS v6.00PG
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+, MMX,
3DNow (2 CPUs),
Memory: 1918MB RAM

Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 6100
Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Chip type: GeForce 6100
16x DVD R/W

I have heard there is a way to create a user profile that I can access prior
to playing that when set up, will allow me to get the most performance out of
my computer because there will be less background programs running.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Look in your Windows Help files for "hardware profiles". Also search
the internet for "fs autostart" or "fsautostart". This utility was made
for Flight Sim fans who need to squeeze all the juice from their
machines when they play but it can be used for the same purpose for any
software or game.
