How to make PC’s games run smoothly like console’s games?
GUYS !!! Finally I found the answer thanks to all of you.
First…
when I play I can see (from the Task Manager using dual monitors) that the system is using 90-95% of my RAM memory. So even if I have 1GB, is not enought, I will need to buy at least another GB of RAM.
But this is what I did for let the system run smoothly, faster and without Hard Disk loading continously.
Virtual Memory:
Initial and Maximum size they are the exact same size, so that the system do not loose time resizing the Virtual Memory when needed and the page file does not become too much fragmented.
I have 3 hard drive and I splited the Virtual Memory files on all of my hard disk, so for each hard disk I have
Initial size: 500MB
Maximum size: 500MB
for a total of 1500MB as initial size and maximum size.
Defragmentation:
I did a complete defragmentation of all the 3 Hard Disks.
Page files need also be defragmented to be fast.
Symantec Norton Antivirus and Personal Firewall:
I removed those 2 system craps… shut!
Installed NOD32… wow! this antivirus found at least 20 viruses that Norton did not find! Those where slowing all of my system. Also NOD32 seems to be very light and does not slow donw the PC.
I nstalled Zone Alarm Pro, wow! I did the scan for spyware and stuff like that… I had lot of spyware and similar… those too where slowing my system down!
Conclusion… finally I feel the system clean, running at normal and decent speed.
Now I can see that my 3.2Ghz computer is running like a 3.2Ghz computer!
For all of you…
thanks to all, reading your post I did understand how to make my PC run smootly
My Advice: do not ever use any Symantec Products!
(maybe they make your system run slower, so you are costantly
buying new hardware, searching for better performance!)
This was a big satisfation!
