Hi there.
First off, I am wondering if there is a utility that will allow me to setup
my windows xp (with sp2) so I could get the best quality as possible for
gaming?
I have an intel 2.6 mhz, with only 256 megs of ram. I know more memory
would help, but that at the moment is difficult to do since I have little
money spare, and I don't need to hear it all again about get this or get
that, I've heard it all before. What I'm looking for is a possible solution
to get the best of what I have at the moment. I have looked at several
soulutions through tweaking FAQ's, and I have shutdown several services that
take up much needed memory, but for some reason Windows XP still doesn't seem
to improve my gaming experience.
Also, my system is a dual boot, which is I have Windows 98se installed so I
can take advantage of freeing up more memory so I can play these games, but
as most know, Windows se locks up every once in awhile which is a big pain in
the behind.
I am so curious as to why Microsoft hasn't created a gaming util for those
people like myself that would scan your system, and automatically re-adjust
the settings so you can get the most out of XP for gaming.
I have just finished reading several documents on why XP is better for
gaming, but from what I have read, and from my experience, you require a
gaming system that is just outrageous.
To add, I have all the latest drivers for my hardware (Video, Sound, etc)
Anyway, if anyone has solutions please reply...
Thanks.
