Gamebooster Software

[wannabedamned]

Hi Guys, I spotted this software while having a look around at how to improve framerates in Skyrim.

Now I don't usually like software solutions for PC optimization, I'm a fan of figuring out what is and isnt needed myself and disabling stuff.

But from the look of this software, It's a 1 click on\off solution. Which seems interesting.

1. Has anyone used it and had good experiences?
2. There is a warning of cons on one of the websites. It says it can disable things that are important, and you end up with system crashes. So kind of a big con

But I just wondered what people think.

isn't this pretty much pointless in times of quad core CPUs and 4GB+ RAM?

I can see how it'd be helpful on an old spec machine, but services and whatnot use so little resources on a modern gaming rig.

I used to use this on my old Athlon x2 5000+ to help play Battlefield Bad Co 2, it gave me another 5-7fps which was enough for me seeing as I was only getting about 30ish anyway

I've used this in the past on non-gaming laptops, it's given a small noticeable boost.

Doesn't really do anything for modern systems, but I guess if you need something to kill selected processes in one click it's handy.

unless you only have 2gb of memory it wotn do anything

As people have said this makes a difference only on older machines, but that's where you could really do with any small boosts

yeah my opinion of this kind of software is its mainly aimed at users that have 1-2GB Ram with slow processors etc.

It basically frees up resources from windows by disabling services etc.
