smoother running SH3 (increase FPS)
 

You might want to try out a simple and small program called WinCleaner Memory Optimizer. It simply lets your physical and virtual memory free and cleanses your RAM from all rubbish in the background. And it's free.
You can get it from most freeware sites, but try this one first: www.wincleaner.com

Privyet, Kpt. Kozlov!

Other program that quite many guys from this forum are using, is FSAutoStart. I use it too and I'll stick with it, as it does its job very well. Try to compare them before you pick up one.

mumit can you post a link to it ?

I know a few memory optimizers which are freeware....such like FreeRam XPpro, but I don´t use it anymore since I have 2 Gigs

Sure, I should have done it at once:

Discussion on the programme on Ubi forums
One of countless places in the web you can download it for free (I just googled it a while ago)

thanks:up:

re: FSautoStart
 

Beware, I for one and others that post on this forum have had problems after using FSautoStart.

I used it in November and December of 2006, and had a crash or a glitch or something one day. Ever since I've had intermittent crashes upon exit from SH3. Lately realized other programs were not terminated when exited from program.

Two days ago I did a restore to November 1st and my problem seems to have gone away.

So I'll say it again, in my opinion: Beware and be very careful if you use FSautoStart.

I didn't have any problems with it, so I can't approve or dissaprove... But it seems to me that you simply "overused" the programme and switched off too many background applications. :D

Hmm,FSAutoStart's working perfectly for the titular game (FS,duh!)... aint tried it for SHIII though.

Yes, exactly, but knowing which processes to turn off and which ones to leave alone is the problem. I'm not that computer savy.

I downloaded WinCleaner from Download.com and am trying it out. It is memory (ram) cleaner and optimizer which runs in the background. It's nothing at all like FSautoStart; Wincleaner does not turn off startup items or processes like FSautoStart does.

I thank the poster that suggested Wincleaner. It seems safe to use and might be benneficial.

Here is the link to FreeRam XPpro

I think this one is one of the best freeware memory optimizers and much better than many full price products.

you're welcome von Zelda

I have used FSautostart for several years and have never had a problem with it. I use it on my laptop and it makes all the difference in the world for SHIII. Without it, I can't run the game; with it, it does fine.
I haven't tried the RAM cleaner, but I will try it and compare.

maxmem also good

Try this trick if you have 1GB+ RAM.

Go into:

My Computer - Properties

Select Advanced tab

Select Settings in Performance group

Select Advanced tab

Select System Cache in Memory Usage group

Select Ok and exit out. Reboot

This speed up the loading in Oblivion massively and NYGM 2.4 loads sweetly as well.
