I've come across an amazing little piece of software called 'Game Booster'. It automatically turns off several services and programs running on your computer that you don't need when playing games. This frees up extra RAM and CPU that can be dedicated to playing your PC games. It's worked wonders for me while my PC is a little low on RAM. On my Vista machine which at startup uses 768MB of RAM, it reduces that memory usage by 100MB. It's not a lot but it makes the difference between playing The Sims 2 in 'juddery' mode or in 'smooth' mode (please note these two terms are not options in the game, just my way of describing how the game plays!). Okay so anyone using a PC with 4GB or above memory probably doesn't need this software but if you're using a slightly older PC and still want to run some of the more recent games (or even give your old games a speed boost) then this software is perfect!
