Tips'n'tricks to get more FPS - research for a sticky!

Hi Guys

I wonder if you have mamaged to get the system stripped down any more, I have a 3.2GHx P4 with 4GB RAM an ATI X1950 Pro AGP graphics card, on an Abit IC7G Mobo with almost everything disabled on the board.

When I run the game X3R or TC I manage to run the game with only 10 other processes runing, using 78MB or RAM I wonder if you have done better let me know.

I currently get 33fps with the X3TC demo.. not sure I can get anything else from it really.

ok, this is more or less a LAST RESORT to gain those FPS' u need. it's called Overclocking. It can be HIGHLY dangerous if u do not know wut to do, but can be VERY rewarding! knowing wut to do it varies from computer to computer, but there IS an over all method on HOW to do it, so just look that up. i've seen CPU's get a 5.6 GZh gain in CPU power because of overcloking, but, like i said before, it is HIGHLY dangerous!

FPS Gain: Frame loss (if not used right) to massive frame gain (if used properly)

NOTE: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE U DO TO UR COMPUTER DURING OVERCLOCKING!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT EATHER![/u][/b]
