General PC Optimisation discussion

[Luappy13]

If anyone wants to know/post about any PC optimisation techniques (not specific to NTL:TW) say and I will post a list of all the things I do to my and others machines to try tweak the buggers.

These include things like Hard Drive Tools, BIOS Flashing (GPU and Mainboard), Driver updates/issues, Hardware Upgrades, Cooling, General System upgrades, Registry tweaks, advice on hardware buys etc...

This is just a general help all thread with specific advice for specific questions... Got an issue - just post.

Why don't you write it anyway and get it posted as an article? PM a mod and I'm sure they would be happy to post it there?

Build a fast machine to begin with and dont worry about it<<<<< best tip you will ever hear

BTW the computers and IT section of the forum is already set up. Have a look see how big this thread will get if its all posted here

Unfortunately not all people can afford to buy top of the line equipment and they may just want to be able to get the best out of the machine.

I bought some great kit but still stripped down windows to maximise the hardware.

MSI P4N Diamond
P4 3GHZ Single core (bottle neck) (Stock fan)
2GB CORSAIR TWINX 667MHZ RAM
Dual 7800GTX SLI 450 Core 1200 RAM

My main point is you cant fit everything into one thread. Have alook at the IT section and you will see loads of tweak ,hardware,software,upgrade threads etc all over the place.

I think the OP wants to produce a guide of their tips rather than the general ones we all suggest?

well if thats the case fair play
