AMD FUSION. great for xp amazing for vista
http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_fusion.aspx?p=1 i would like to bring attention to this as i for one and im not alone hate all the background programs on vista trying to help you out, keeping things secret asking permision even tho you clicked it. well this handy tool disables all unessercary apps and engages amd boost technology! (oooooooh) well i love it and dont know of anyone else using it so i thought id bring it to your attention aparently it works better with all amd systems but its an improvement with my amd/nvidea. just wack it on expert and enjoi

yeah. Im interested to see if it makes any difference. I do a decent job of determining what is worthless crap running in the background and shutting that stuff down

glad to see some people are making use of it, i run it on my vista system just to free up memory and stop notifications, allthough it can cause some problems with my steam account logging me out and stuff its worth it just because the os doesnt hassle you all the time

With AMD Fusion on, I got 13212 3dMarks. With it off I got....13212 3dMarks. I've already disabled the services I don't need so I guess I did a good job.

Please note that if you disable the Fusion gaming setting, it'll start a bunch of services you might have already disabled.
