Nerwin Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Most people use most of those settings. If your system can handle the game, then upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroshift Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 With such dramatic fall in prices I don't see any reasons why not having 4GB of RAM and a Core2Duo (or equivalent) that can handle all default services loaded at start-up to run during games, etc. With the machine in my signature using Vista Business x64, I have NO services disabled or any other tweaks applied and it flies through games, including Crysis Warhead.

It really does help with performance and system responsiveness. Less to start up with, less to hog bandwidth on ram, disk, or to run in the background doing who knows what. Like indexing, and performance monitoring/logging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
