Also, disabling sound on the alts helps a lot. And limit their background-framerate. The latter can be done in KeyClone or by the in-game commands. Setting it to 15 or something seems to be the norm.

The post above should be stickied or put in the wiki for vista users--- great info! Thanks!
[quote='Bovidae',index.php?page=Thread&postID=63361 #post63361]Trust me, I have 8gb of ram, 512mb video, and my ram utilization has never topped 3.7gb yet Windows keeps using a pagefile. ;([/quote]

Bovidae if yeh seeing 3.7 gigs usage tops then its because yer either running XP32 or vista32
I think the biggest performance boost would be to kill aero.
instead of using a flash drive as temporary memory get the real deal :P
Hardware isn't the problem its what yeh got running.
Yes that's why I said "Step 4 is obviously not needed if you have 4GB already. ".Quote:

Utter and complete crap. With 2gb ram I could easily run 3 copies of wow, you need approximately 3.2gb with vista to run 5 copies, and that will vary only slightly by the amount of crap you have running.Quote:

This is news to me! I use a couple of Vista laptops for boxing and just ordered two 4Gb readyboost-compatible (i.e. fast) sticks to take advantage of it. Thanks!Quote:
4. Add a 2GB or higher USB Flash drive to take advantage of Windows Ready Boost (Additional Memory Cache). Ready Boost is Microsoft's name for using a USB thumb/flash drive to provide some quick access memory the operating system can use as extra RAM. The Ready Boost system can significantly improve system performance.
QFT. I run 4 in 2Gb, albeit only as "drones", with my main on a different machine. And why "yeh" instead of "you" all the time? Makes my eyes bleed :(Quote:
