Game Booster
Better Play Experience!

Designed to help optimize your PC for smoother, more responsive game play in the latest PC games with the touch of a button, Game Booster helps achieve the performance edge previously only available to highly technical enthusiasts. It works by temporarily shutting down background processes, cleaning RAM, and intensifying processor performance. That means you can keep all the features of Microsoft® Windows Vista® and XP® ready for when you need them, but turn them off when you are ready to get down to serious business – gaming. Game Booster makes it simpler to enjoy the latest games and take your experience to a new level. All systems go!

Try it out here.

I'm not much of a PC gamer (more a console man) but this looks brilliant, and i'm gonna try it out now.

And i assume you can use it for other things (media center etc.)?

Well by the looks of it you can choose which services/processes get turned off so I suppose you can.

IOBit actually have a few great programs, including a good defragger, not sure if it's not just an interface to windows defragger but it does give you a progress indicator which you used to get with the Windows defragger.

My motherboard for my old computer, which was MSI, had a utility for AMD processors which had a 'game' mode which would do something similar, except you couldn't choose what processes were stopped. It was also very unstable, both XP and Vista crashed whilst it was running, both in 'game' mode and not.

This appears to be very stable, on my system at least, though I didn't really see a difference in performance.

Too bad it's still in beta

Going to try this out.

It will hopefully show a change on my computer.

Update: Cursed thing stopped me from moving my Steam windows permanently. I had to repair Steam to fix the issue.
