Ultimate Defrag - The Best Defrag Software Out There And A Video On How To Use it

Author: James @ PCPerformanceTips.com - Categories: Ultimate Defrag - The Best Defrag Software Out There And A Video On How To Use it - Tags: ,

Hey it’s James here with another video tutorial for you.

As it goes, you wouldn’t believe the amount of requests I’ve had just to make this one video. I mean literally emails have been flooding in when I recommended this software sometime ago.

If you’re not one of the many who emailed me then you’re probably wondering what the hell I’m on about?

Well I’m on about Ultimate defrag. I personally think it’s the best defrag software out there but it’s also one of the hardest to use… Well to get the most out of it anyway.

You see, when you’re using this really cool disk defragmenter and you don’t know what you’re doing, it can actually make your hardrive even more fragmented!

Sounds crazy I know.

So this why I decided to make a video on how use it. Like I said before, it’s been a long time coming but I give you my “Lame” excuse why I’ve only got round to making it.

Anyway that’s enough of me rabbling on, here’s the vid.

Download Ultimate Defrag Here

Got another video heading your way pretty soon.

I’ve made a ton of exciting discoveries over the last few months and I’m gonna share a couple in the next video

…So make sure you keep a look out for it.

See you then

Make Windows Faster Using Graphics Automation Technique

Author: James @ PCPerformanceTips.com - Categories: Make Windows Faster Using Graphics Automation Technique - Tags: ,

Hey everyone James here

Today I’ve got a really quick tip you can use on your PC to speed it up.

Well actually you may already know how to do this but I’m gonna show you a really cool way to automate it.

This basically means whenever you start up any program you desire, be it an app, program or even your fave game, Windows will automatically optimize your graphics settings therefore freeing up essential resources like the Ram, CPU and graphics and dedicate it to whatever program you want to run.

Cool eh.

The old method involved you to do this manually which wasn’t a big deal or anything but doing it the way I’m about to show you saves you doing this ever again.

This funky trick works on all Windows operating systems by the way so it doesn’t matter if you’ve got Windows XP, Vista, or the brand spanking new Windows 7… You’re good to go with this tweak regardless.

Anyway that’s enough of me rambling on, here’s the vid

Tweak Boy’s PC Optimizer Review… Worth Your Time?

Author: James @ PCPerformanceTips.com - Categories: Tweak Boy's PC Optimizer Review - Tags: , , , ,

I was surfing the Internet the other day and ran across a glowing review of a new product offering over at Tweakboy.net. The review was so good, I started to doubt the reviewer was legit, but the premise of the guide was too good to ignore.

This product, created by Tweak Boy, someone we’ve all heard from once or twice in the PC repair forums, claimed it could make any PC run faster and smoother within a few hours, just by doing some simple maintenance on the PC. It was a bold claim and one that PC owners everywhere will perk up at hearing.

But, as a long time PC owner, I had to put it to the test. I’ve seen a lot of so called “tricks” that do little more than turn off all your features and call it “faster”. So, before I would call it a hoax or a full blown solution, I figured I’d give this new guide a test run and report back with my thoughts.

Time For A Test Run

I tested Tweak Boy’s PC Optimizer over the course of a week on an old computer I have in my basement - one that’s rarely used anymore and hasn’t had any maintenance done in three or four years at best. I did some basic benchmarks to confirm that the computer was in fact awful and ran slower than when I bought it.

The PC which was built way back in 2004 and it was top of the line at the time. It should run anything that came out within about two years of them with ease, but I can’t even get Farcry to play smoothly, so you can imagine it’s not exactly cruising along.

I did the maintenance outlined by Tweakboy every day for the entire week, and made sure to use my PC as much as possible, just doing some basic web browsing, Facebooking and YouTube - the usual nonsense I do when I’m half asleep.

So What Was The Results?

Well by day 8, I did a new set of benchmarks. I was blown away. Everything - and I mean everything - had improved at least 100%. Some things were performing 3 or 4 times better than they had before. Not only did Farcry run now, it ran a rock-solid 60 frames per second.

It boot up in about 15 seconds, rather than the two minutes it used to take. It opened web pages instantly, it shut down in seconds. This was the computer I had bought in 2004. I was blown away.

The lesson? Don’t judge anything based on it seeming too good to be true. Tweak Boy’s PC Optimizer is the real deal. I’ll be using his system on all my PCs from now on.

How to build a “Killer” gaming system… for Peanuts!

Author: James @ PCPerformanceTips.com - Categories: How to build a "Killer" gaming system... for Peanuts! - Tags: , ,

Hey

Believe it or not it’s one of the most asked questions people email me about.

After all, building a killer gaming system can be both frustrating and differcult at the same time :-(

JUST PICTURE THIS FOR A MINUTE…

First of all you’ve got to literally spend hours researching which components give you the best bang-per-buck, massive overclocking potential etc.

Then make sure everything seamlessly slots together (if not your screwed!), and if that’s not enough time and effort invested already, then you’ve got to struggle putting your Super Kick ass PC without frying your brand new components!

Sounds like a lot hard work and believe me it is, but could you imagine if your building your Ultimate Dream Machine…. On a shoe-string budget!

Sounds impossible but to be honest it can be done and done easily too. Providing you have the right information at your disposal you can still build the Ultimate Gaming Rig that even your most computer enthusiast friends would be green with envy …and all without breaking the bank too!

AND THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT!

My friend Gary Hendricks has been building gaming PCs over 15 years and there isn’t a thing he doesn’t know when it comes to building state-of-the-art PCs for bargain basement prices.

And after much arm twisting and constant pleading, he finally put pen to pager (Well fingers to keyboard keys but you know what I mean) and put together this killer report.

You can check it out here

http://www.vistaspeedsecrets.co.uk/Recommends/BuildAPC4Peanuts.html

YOU’LL LEARN THE INSIDER SECRETS SUCH AS

*Save time on finding the correct components because every component you need is already painstakingly researched and spelt out.

*The best places to buy those components so you can take advantage of special deals and discounts. Don’t end up paying more than you have to for a particular component.

*Select the best components so you can optimize 3D gaming performance - there is a world of difference between building a GAMING computer and a normal run-of-the-mill computer.

*Rest easy knowing that your gaming computer will last you a long time because of its cutting-edge components.

*Learn from his mistakes so you don’t have to go through the pain and frustration that Gary did when he first learned how to build computers (e.g. short circuiting and frying his brand new motherboards due to some careless mistakes).

I’m only scratching the surface of the treats in store once inside. To get the full lowdown I suggest you visit the link below.

http://www.vistaspeedsecrets.co.uk/Recommends/BuildAPC4Peanuts.html

I certainly wish I had access this information when I first started out. It would of saved me a lot of money, time and effort in building my first gaming PC. And with Gary’s 15 years experience you know your in good hands!

Here’s that link again… Enjoy ;-)

http://www.vistaspeedsecrets.co.uk/Recommends/BuildAPC4Peanuts.html

James

P.S. I recommend you jump on this asap. Gary going to be put the price up sharpish but promised he’d hold off for a couple of days to let my subscribers (That’s you!) have first crack at the whip so to speak.

How To Speed Up Frame Rates In Your Games

Author: James @ PCPerformanceTips.com - Categories: How To Speed Up Frame Rates In Your Games - Tags: , ,

Hey how you doing!

Since posting my last vid I got a lot of people thanking me for sharing that tip. So me being me, I thought I’d share with you another promo video that also as another excellent tip.

In this vid I’ll be showing you how to turn on a cool feature that activates the triple buffer in your graphics card’s options. To kick start this hidden option you’ll need good “ole” Rivatuner but surprisely you don’t actually activate it within the Rivatuner control panel itself.

Sounds weird I know but you’ll see what I mean when you watch the video…

Hardly anyone knows about this hack (well apart from my Extreme overclocker’s kit members) and it a shame really because it only take seconds to implement and can make a dramatic difference to most of your games performance wise.

Anyway enjoy the video and don’t forget to bookmark or twitter it

Thanks watching and happy tweaking ;-)

James

How I turned my PC into a Super TV (And how you can too!)

Author: James @ PCPerformanceTips.com - Categories: satellite channels for your computer - Tags: , ,

Hey all

A bit off topic this week but I had to share this discovery I came across that literally blew me away.

What it is, is I’ve been considering subscribing to a satellite service for a while now but me being about as financially secure as a tramp’s dog lately… I decided the $90 monthly price tag was just too much for me.

However a good friend of mine recommended a sneaky way around this. A way of getting satellite telly without paying the monthly subscriptions that is. And I’d still get all the movies, sport and documentary channels that everyone else is paying top whack for.

Watching Satellite TV on my computer… Sounds too good to be true!

So I visited the site, downloaded the software and installed it. I got to say I was quite impressed from the word go really.

I got instant access to all the channels I was after and so much more. The quality was also impressive with nice bright and sharp pictures with good streaming too.

And all this without paying a monthly subscription!

Drawbacks to watching Satellite on your computer

If there is anything wrong with this is that not all 3000 channels are top quality. In actual fact, over half of them was either utter rubbish or was in a foreign language but to be fair I kinda expected that anyway. And although the picture quality was good Don’t expect BlueRay standard either.

That aside I thought it was well worth it. No monthly charges, hundreds of channels worth watching and if you don’t mind watching it on your computer’s monitor, to me anyway, it’s a no brainer.

If you haven’t seen it already you can see it here

satellite channels for your computer download

Has anyone else used this software? If you have let me know what you think. I personally think it’s one of the best things I’ve stumbled across in a while and I definitely know it’s going to save me a fortune in the long run.

Windows XP And Vista Services Tweak Guide

Author: James @ PCPerformanceTips.com - Categories: Vista Services Tweak Guide - Tags: , ,

Hey all

Just finished writing this cool report that I think your gonna love. What it is, is a chart of every single Microsoft process running in the background and how to tweak them for optimal performance.

So how is this going to help?

Well there’s over 140 processes running in the background and the majority of them are just sapping the hell out of your CPU and Ram’s resources. Don’t get me wrong, there is some that are essential to run windows but once you know which one does what, you can actually free up tons of performance just by deactivating the ones you don’t need.

I’ve actually seen a improvement in my games FPSs just by turning all the unnecessary processes that I don’t use. So download this report and start optimising your PC for better performance straight away.

Windows XP And Vista Services Tweak Guide

Before you go, a lot of readers have noticed that it’s written for Vista and yes it is written for Vista but the only difference is XP has fewer processes than Vista’s.

So yes… It will work for XP but if you do see a process in the report that’s not in XP’s services section, just simply ignore it and move onto the next one.

That’s it for this post. Hope you find it useful and of course let know how it goes

Hey everyone

I’ve just made this video guide on how to overclock your graphics card using a free program called RivaTuner. This overclocking guide will take you through step by step to overclocking your graphics card for best possible performance (Well… when it comes to overclocking anyway)

BTW, Rivatuner won’t work for everyone so I’ve put another recommendation you can use. It’s not as good as Rivatuner (in a sense that you can’t do as much as you can as with Rivatuner) but it should be more than enough for this guide.

Anyway that’s enough of me babbling on. Here’s the Rivatuner overclocking guide.

Tools needed for Rivatuner Overclocking Guide

Recommended software for overclocking
RivaTuner

If you can’t overclock with RivaTuner try this one
ATI Tool

Recommended free benchmarking programs
3D Mark 05
3D Mark 06

If you like to learn further ways of making your graphics card to go faster then check out my book. It’ll show you other ways go squeezing extra performance from your PC.

Tweaking Rivatuner For Better Performance Guide

Just made this vid explaining how you can tweak your in-game graphics using RivaTuner and your graphics driver software. It doesn’t matter what kind of graphics card you’ve got just providing you’ve got one in the first place (No integrated graphics support here I’m afraid)

It really doesn’t matter how good (or bad) your graphics card is because I’ll show you how to get the most out of it.

So if you’ve got a rubbish one :-(, I’ll show you can tweak it for better performance, or if you’ve got a super duper one  that could even beat the Deathstar in a arm wrestle in any day of the week, I’ll show you how you can flex it’s muscles further.
