Bill Z Bubba gota thank ya for this guide . downloaded drive cleaner an it helped with a driver problem i had since i have had this card ( msi 6600gt 128 ddr3 agp card ).got brave today an turned off Virtual Memory..difrence to me is night an day.realy helped alot in mercy an port oaks .

only thing i belive you could add to your guide would be the physical checking of ones system. dirt , lent ,cat hair,human hair,dust etc all want to go into your comp an clog it up. which can lower performance an raise heat.heat makes fans run harder an wear out faster.

good idea to check fans ever other month or if vid performance drops like a rock. found out my 6 month old cards fan was broke an hanging down from the card. heat was part of its performance problems ( ill never buy another msi card ) .new dont always mean good.

bought a new fan after i did some checking on newegg . an replaced it my self cheeper than what it would cost me for msi to look at it .if you can dodge a wrench you can play dodge ball .. an if you can turn a screw driver you can build a computer.. or fix a vid cards fan as the case may be.so any one can clean the inside with caned air an a clean paint brush as needed.

thanks again for the time an effort put into guide.

Optional: Because my system has 2GB of RAM, I have no need of a swap file. In my testing with CoH when I only had 1GB of RAM, I saw no errors without a swap file, but the general attitude is that killing off Virtual Memory should ONLY be done if you have MORE than 1GB RAM. To disable Virtual Memory/Swap File, go to Control Panel/System/the Advanced tab/the Settings button under Performance/the Advanced tab again and under Virtual Memory, click Change. For all drives, select No Paging File, and click the Set button. You will have to restart when finished.

ok wondering on this as i have 2 gig ram,does this help less fragmentation?or increase speed fram rate speed since cpu is geting the information even faster?

used to i would partion my hard drives into 3 sections . one for windows an window related programs one for page file/swap file an one for everthing else.if windows needed a reinstall id just redo c drive that had windows an reistall the registry.
