Setup for a Gamer
What would you recommend?
Friday, November 4, 2005 by soccerdude21490 | Discussion: OS Customization
Hey guys! Well I'm a huge Gamer (mostly PC but console as well) And I was thinking of customizing my computer to make it suit for a true gamer (by the look of it) so what WindowBlinds or Desktop X or ObjectDock stuff would you guys recommend to suit for a gamer?
Thanks a lot guys!
Thanks a lot guys!

If you really like gaming, you'll do yourself the favor of not installing unnecceary software that takes up resources. I use windowblinds and a couple other stardock products because they make my GUI look nice. But I don't play PC games so I don't care.

although when playing games, you might want to close off some of those dx objects and maybe sysmetrix and rainlendar as well... they don't take up huge amounts of memory, but they take up some memory nonetheless.

agreed .. but the "installation" of the programs is not going to really effect the pc's performance ..but yes it is wise to not run stuff like Widgets/Sysmetrix and extras while playing...but WB and iconpackager typically dont hurt a pc's performance while playing...
