lol hello everyone I thought i would just share some of my tips on how to get rid of lag.
1# first thing i do when games start to lag is go ctrl+alt+delete and then go processors (i might of spelt that wrong) then select the browser ur running like firefox.exe or iexplore.exe and set its priority to high if u have a slow computer and real time if u have a fast computer.
2# set the quality of the game to low (which u all probably know how to do)
3# close all other unneccesary programs. for example if a add comes up in another window it could greatly increase lag.
4# u see those icons next to where ur time is displayed. yer well get rid of as many of them as possible . i mean dont quit ur firewall or do somthing dumb like that but if u have quicktime running in background or other annoying appliances just right click and go to exit or quit or wateva
5# finally get Tune up utilities 2009 trial version. It probably doubled my computer speed overall and it helps rid ur computer of errors, unwanted shortcuts, programs that u forgot where installed and gives u lots of recomendations on how to speed up ur pc.
sorry of my spelling lol and if u have any other good tips of getting rid of the extremely annoying thing called lag plz leave a comment.
note: i use XP some of these tips wont work on other operating systems.
You can overclock your computer to get faster speeds like from 2.4 GHz to 3.2 GHz but I wouldn't reccomend that you do it. Only true proffesionals shoud even attempt to do it. And if you look it up and do it and completely screw the hell out of your computer you can't blame me.
Yer lol some of them are a bit obvious. Oh and i have heard of the overlocking ur computer and stuff but i aint to confident about that yet. so i have decided to Hot up my current computer.
which i need help with the specs are
Operating Sustem: Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1 Build 2600) System Manufacturer: Compaq System Model: Evo D510 SFF BIOS: 68202 v1.08 Processor: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 1.80GHz Memory: 760MB RAM Page file 688MB availble DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) DAC type: Internal Capacity: 37.2 G
lol i know it is crap so no need to comment onhow crap it is lol, anyway i am thinking of spicing up the graphics card, the RAM and the Capacity, i Also might get an external drive but i dont know yet. i have a budget of 1000$ so i will prob go to MSY, anyway plz ocomment on what u think i should upgrade for overall better performance. But usually i use my computer for homework and Games.
I do take care of my computer though, giving it diskcleanup and stuff every week or so oh and that reminds me another good way to get ur computer running faster is to get UltraDefrag, basically it is a really powerfull disk defragmentor
I didn't think to do some of those. This guide is good, but I guess that you'd have to fix some of the spelling and grammar if your going for the sticky.
