Uuuhm - the only thing this program does is freeing up more RAM by closing programs and services. While this is a indeed a working solution you know what is a far better one? BUY MORE RAM!

Seriously - if you have like 4 GB of RAM this program will do absolutely nothing and you're only at risk of losing important data or exposing your system to risk by shutting down and re-launching stuff.

Update:
I ran some benchmarks with a stress test TF2 demo (three times each).

No booster: 38.49 39.16 39.05
With booster: 39.65 40.15 40.32

In conclusion "the goggles, they do (almost) nothing". Sure, you do get an increase of around 1 average fps but you'll get much more if you just tweak the game settings to better suit your hardware. I really wouldn't trust any program that uses phrases like "to intensify processor performance" (what does that even mean?

) to actually do any miracles.
Please note, that Windows (especially Vista) shuts down many background processes when switching to full-screen 3d performance mode anyway and that services take up some RAM but usually no processing power at all.

I came across this on another forum I read and at first it looked like just another shite peice software but people are saying it works for them. http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html Site I read about it here: http://www.avforums.com/forums/pc-games ... oster.html

I don't think it actually overclocks any hardware - so it says anyway. More it temporarily shuts down everything that isn't used by a game, thus freeing up ram/cpu which the game can then use.

I think bucky was playing around with this earlier at his laptop aswell.

Thanks for the tip Jedi! Sounds like it works. I think I'll be using it.

Well - it depends on what you describe as working. It does what it advertises but as you can see this doesn't affect performance as much as one would wish... An increase of ~0.3% - c'mon - and I don't know if you couldn't achieve the same by shutting down some stuff you don't use manually - I leave lots of things running in the background. A difference of 1 fps is really poor and I found out that some programs aren't restarted correctly so fuck that shit. :-P Keep in mind that I also have quite little RAM - only 2 GB - so if you have more the program will be even less useful to you.

I tried it myself this morning on my laptop - which is what would benefit. Without the Booster - 63fps With Booster - 67 fps Not really much much benefit - an additional 4 fps (about a 6% increase). Not sure it worth it but there is a very small benefit.

How did you measure the FPS? A benchmark demo? Perhaps try this one: http://rapidshare.com/files/210922646/stress_test.zip (timedemo stress_test in console)

the thing i was toying around with earlier were boot up configs and one of them was very minimal.
