Evolution Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Could anyone tell what is the better setting, programs or background services for a game & power user machine? BTW if anyone is aware of any sites that can tell me what services I can disable, I would appreciate it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MxxCon Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 obvoiusly program scheduling is better. http://www.blkviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm don't over-do w/ services..you'll start to have some subtile problems and won't realise it's becuase of some service :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tim Dorr Veteran Posted April 13, 2002 Veteran Share Posted April 13, 2002 well, unless you're running a service and you want it to have priority over certain programs on the computer, set it in program mode. you'll notice things being more responsive...

0 EmuZombie Veteran Posted April 13, 2002 Veteran Share Posted April 13, 2002 never ever ever ever ever set it to background services... your normal applications will run so %^$%^ slow it'll be like you're on a 386. As for system cache, switch to that, you'll gain alot better proformance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Evolution Posted April 13, 2002 Author Share Posted April 13, 2002 Ok thanks :), timdorr about priorities, say I am running a game such as JK2, could I set the priorities of the program up one more notch without any harm to the system and would I notice any improvements? btw I have my processor scheduling set for programs and my memory usage set for system cache.

0 Tim Dorr Veteran Posted April 13, 2002 Veteran Share Posted April 13, 2002 you probably won't notice too much of a difference, so it's kinda more work than it's worth to up the proccess priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
