I found a great little speed boost application which helps accelerate your gaming performance by automatically shutting down background processes while your playing your games.
This helps make more RAM available, and keeps things from clogging up your valuable CPU cycles while in game.
The application is FREE and you can download it from their website here.
I highly recommend you check it out, and I can vouch for the fact that it works great!
Here is a discription of the application from their website:
Game Booster
Designed to help optimize your PC for smoother, more responsive game play in the latest PC games with the touch of a button, Game Booster helps achieve the performance edge previously only available to highly technical enthusiasts. It works by temporarily shutting down background processes, cleaning RAM, and intensifying processor performance. That means you can keep all the features of Microsoft® Windows Vista® and XP® ready for when you need them, but turn them off when you are ready to get down to serious business – gaming. Game Booster makes it simpler to enjoy the latest games and take your experience to a new level. All systems go!
