Game Booster auto-tweaks Windows for better performance
There are plenty of hardware-free solutions for squeezing a little bit more gaming performance out of your Windows system. Heck, there are even a number of tools built right in to Windows that you can use to cut down on background performance drains before you fire up your favorite game - like services.msc, for example.
Still, it's kind of pain to go in there and selectively turn off unwanted services all the time. Game Booster makes the process totally painless. It's similar to AMD's Fusion tool: when activated, Game Booster will turn off any unnecessary Windows services, do a quick RAM sweep, and offer to close any other programs that are currently running.
Game Booster is useful in non-gaming situations as well - keep it handy to quiet background process noise whenever you're firing up any processor-hungry application.
Game Booster is a free download, and it's compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and even Windows 7 - good news for those of you who are beta testing and looking for compatible tweaking apps.

tried the thing, didn't work as advertised, there was chain reactions based on "default" window settings, meaning the software assumed NO user defined set of services -- see http://www.blackviper.com/ for those of you developpers don't know about it.
The UI is not AI-based either, this program is not for the general (generic?) user.
My take, I may be wrong.
And yes, NyaR is right, this program doesn't bring much that can already be done.

Trying it presently with win 7. It "freed" 131mb from my 2gigs of ram. Played a round of Hawx but was unaware of any improvement.
Tried the AMD Fusion tool in the past but it never worked right on Win 7.

Tried this out; does what it says. I guess it's pretty handy. I like how you can turn off unnecessary processes selectively.
I was thinking of creating a .bat file that kills multiple unneeded processes. Guess this works out.

does this work with Steam? AMD Fusion kills Steam and you can't launch any games from it. seeing as how i have one game on my PC that is no on Steam, Fusion is kinda useless. bummer since i have an AMD CPU and ATi GPU.
