DovahTech Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hey there Eclipse, I was wandering. How do you get the best performance out of your PC. I know there are a lot of tips and tricks out there. But I thought, why not ask the people at Eclipse? Most of you are more than capable with a computer. So what do you guys know? How do you get the best out of your PC? Thanks, D.T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Comnena Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Depends on what your PC is built with.Generally don't bog down your system with unneeded fluff (toolbars, active-at-startup "convenience" programs, etc.), and prioritize what you want to do with the computer can go a long way.

DovahTech Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Okay thanks for replying so quickly. Another thing is. What's the quickest way to clean up your system? My computer didn't come with a restore to factory settings disk and It takes quite a while to remove each program manually. Is there any tips, tricks or software involved?

Godlord Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 @Zonova:> I usually just run through Program Files, and delete programs i don't likeThat won't remove the entries in the registry. Even worse, some programmes don't have everything stored within the same folder, or even the same partition.Yours faithfully Stephan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I have it installed is because I have to support other people who do use Microsoft Windows, and to play the games of developers that are too careless about other, actual, operating systems.Yours faithfully Stephan.

I have no interest in releasing anything for them. :PThat depends on your company's statue, really. I actually do purchase and pay the full price for the majority of games I like. Even though, the majority of those games doesn't have native Linux support. There are three kind of users though: people who swear by GNU-software, and therefore by free software; people who torrent everything they like; people who actually buy software they like (and eventually try it out by torrenting, since the majority of developers don't release demos any more).Yours faithfully Stephan.

I was semi-joking. As bad as Crystalshire's engine is, I've put about 7 years of work in to it so I'm emotionally attached to it now.I can't just throw it in to the wild now. If the mother finds it with my scent on it she'll kill it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SawQuart Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Defrag. That sped up my computer considerably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Download windows 7 and put it on a disc. Then grab the biggest magnet you have, wipe it over your hard drive a few times, boot up your computer and reinstall windows 7\. Granted it will destroy everything you have on the computer, so back up the important stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
