But not many people know that by changing some system parameters, you can significantly improve the performance of your computer while playing.

Step 1
The easiest way to optimize your computer for better performance while gaming is to install the appropriate operating system. There is an assembly of Windows XP, which is designed exclusively for running games. Naturally, each time installing a new OS in order to play a game with high system requirements for several hours is an unpleasant pleasure. Therefore, it is recommended to install Windows XP Game Edition as the second operating system.
Step 2
If there is no possibility or desire to install a second OS, then you can try to set up an existing system for games. First, increase the speed of processing data from your hard drive. To do this, open the "My Computer" item, select the hard disk partition on which a certain game is installed, and open its properties. Disable the item "Allow indexing of the contents of files on this disk". This method will achieve a 10% increase in data processing speed.
Step 3
Turn off all third-party programs and services. Very often, running multiple applications at the same time slows down your computer. If you do not need Internet access for the gameplay, then disconnect the Internet connection. Be sure to close programs such as Skype and uTorrent.
Step 4
Download a program called Game Booster. It is designed specifically to optimize a laptop or computer for gaming. This program will automatically disable all idle services and change the operating system settings, which will significantly reduce the load on the processor and RAM.
Step 5
Install the program and run it. Open the Home tab and click Increase Speed. Restart your computer after applying the selected options.
