Your right, you have to be serious about it and some people are. But it has its uses, I've played TF2 on 512mb RAM and thats a painful experience. In that case getting rid of anything unnecessary is going help.]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[For anyone who thinks they should be getting a higher FPS and is serious about their benchmarking then check out http://www.overclock.net/benchmarking-software-discussion/555682-windows-7-setup-tweaking-guide-benchmarking.html#post6905280

I know the thread says windows 7, but read on and you will see most of that stuff is just as useful for vista and almost as useful for XP. Basically a lot of the bloat in windows 7 &#38; vista can be simply cut out (e.g. aero can be disabled, unnecessary services disabled/task manager :D). You'd be surprised what tweaking can do for your scores...but take its advice with caution. Some tweaks can damage your PC if you do them wrong!

Alternatively start looking at a new PC system or OCing :D]]></description>

EDIT: I got a phenom II x4 945 (3,0ghz) and now i get the following:

So a pretty nice boost with a new cpu:)]]></description>

Yeah, also xtala has a better cpu &#38; gpu than me (and +14fps for this crappier rig) so I guess it's about the clean install I just did 12 hours ago as Rake mentioned also. :&#62; But don't see much difference to my vista64 here either, didn't timedemo it but ingame the fps look pretty much the same.]]></description>

With m0re's highfps its pretty much about the clockspeed of your cpu, and Depch has a barely slower cpu. The clean re-install also has it's own magic. When I benchmarked with m0re's highfps my gpu usage was from 1 to 2 percent. :)]]></description>
