App that makes 2000, xp & Vista games faster.

IObit Game Booster 1.1 - TechSpot Downloads

Very rarely do I find little free apps that actually do anything useful, but this app closes down all 2000, xp and vista processes not needed during gaming. I got an extra 7fps in Far Cry2 small ranch very high benchmark. That's the same increase as overclocking from 3.16 to 3.8 on my Vista 64 x48 e8500 with gtx280.

You probably all know about it already, but I only found it recently.

I will compare them by benchmark.:geek: Killall vs Game Booster.

Great list. Lots of old favourites there, vlc, irfanview, spybot, spyware blaster, etc, and a lot I hadn't seen before.

Hmmm. Game Booster senses added apps that run as background and gives you the option of closing them, as well as non-essential windows services. The only one I leave running is antivirus. With Killal you'd have to identify and add those to the script?
