Re: Visual Performance

Hi Riptorn,
Another thought - are you doing your computer "housework" regularly? [defrag, disk clean up & error checking]

Re: Visual Performance

Here is what mine is set to and I dont seem to have any problems with my pc running slow. Then again even if it was, my processor is only a 2.0 so nothing special. Anyways, here is how I'm setup:

Re: Visual Performance

Did you finally opt for "let windows choose what's best for my computer" or something else?

Re: Visual Performance

Hi, I just changed a few things. I don't like all the extra stuff, keep it simple.

Re: Visual Performance

You posted in this thread saying your machine was slow. That might simply be because you have a lot of processes running in the background. But changing the display settings will save some memory. Like I said before usually around 14 - 20 MB.
