Ignorance is bliss. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Gamebooster does more than msconfig can. Not everyone has a dedicated game PC, a lot of us actually use it for more than gaming, where services & background apps are required and these do use up resources not need for gaming.

Gamebooster for me, even on a very well maintained Win7 frees up about 300MB Ram and kills quite a few CPU threads not needed. If you think i'm gonna go through the services maanger and close unnecessary services manually before gaming your nuts.

GB cannot help a poorly setup / configured PC but it does free up resources a hell of a lot easier than any other method i know.

But i'm the same as Furbs.. i dont rely on it.. game runs fine without GB.. turned it off, no drama or issues.

in other words... all it does is shut down programs (the only things that use threads and ram) to free up threads and ram... and services are just programs that run in the background... gamebooster and stuff like those just do some of the work for you that want to be ignorant... about how your machine works, and whats required for it to work and what isn't

guess what I'm saying is... a machine is only so fast... aside from overclocking, no program is gonna speed up your computer, just turn off stuff you can turn off yourself, and in doing so yourself, have 1 less program running because of not having gamebooster or whatever you're using running too

Weird because since mini patch I have quit restarting game and I have yet to CTD. Don't even clear cache the next day when I play like I use to.
