http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_fusion.aspx?p=1"Designed to help optimize your PC for smoother, more responsive game play in the latest PC games with the touch of a button, the AMD Fusion for Gaming utility helps achieve the performance edge previously only available to highly technical enthusiasts. It works by temporarily shutting down background processes and intensifying processor performance with AMD Boost. That means you can keep all the features of Microsoft® Windows Vista® ready for when you need them, but turn them off when you are ready to get down to serious business – gaming."  This will only work with AMD hardware. I also wrote up a small article about this and put it on the Gamers News Section - Frank.

We saw this back in June when we were at AMD but were told it was under NDA. They are also looking at how this can help battery life performance of their laptops as well.
It is a simple task that many people have done for eons. I am surprised none of the big boys have thought about it until now.

Same here, I get that alot at night...damn gnats. Anyway, I'm using it at the moment, but it doesn't seem to be very effective on a 3 year old laptop playing 5 year old game
