Anybody use a "Gaming Profile"?

[Bob43]

Just wondering - does anyone use a "Gaming" hardware profile in Windows XP to stop any unnecessary services while running a PC Game? Just wondering if it actually boosts game performance significantly.

thanks.

is Not a bad idea, and is rather a GOOD practice ;) seriously.

but I went a Step further

i dual boot back to Win98 to play games

much better performance

and your OSes are CLEAN!

so Games goes with play time in 98

and Apps goes with works in XP/2K/Linux

Couple of handy links there showing how to do this for anyone who's curious.
In answer to the question tho, I have stopped some unnecessary services running, as I use my PC primarily for gaming.
