    Anyone know whether Vista system boost helps speed up FM?

    Cheers  :thup:

    Are you referring to the System Booster 2009 software by any chance?

    I have a flash drive which can be used for 'speed boost', just wondered if this would speed up the processing of FM?

    The speed of the drive FM is on will make perhaps a tiny difference to how it runs, but primarily it'll be the CPU, graphics card and RAM which have the most bearing.  I really don't see how running yet another program in the background could speed up the game in any way (memory management perhaps, but I see that being of negligible benefit at best).

    Improving your processor, graphics card and RAM are the main (only?) ways to speed up the processing.  Anything else and I'd be sceptical at best.

    I agree with dat keith, but if you want much cheaper solution maybe you just close other applications while running FM or install software that will optimize your computer for gaming purposes.

    Lots of my friend has that software, and even their computer are not so powerful, with that kind of software they still can run DOTA (Warcraft game), game that I think most of us know its really consuming right?

    I don't think he's talking about running another background program. Vista has the inbuilt capability to use a flash drive as an extra memory cache in order to speed up access time.

    Whether FM would benefit from this or not is another question.

    Perhaps it would be better to raise this question over at the official SI boards. It should probably be posted in the General Discussion subforum as there doesn't seem to be a dedicated Tech subforum there.

    I use a 2GB usb drive as a speed boost on vista but I can't say it makes too much difference with the running of the game. I doesn't hurt having it ithough.

    I've downloaded a gamer boost freeware, and a free registry cleaner from reputable sources (  ) and they seem to have made a big difference.

    Can you give me the link? I think my computer also need one, because sometimes suddenly FM lagged especially during match play.

    Windows ReadyBoost acts as an extension of your RAM, and as such, wont speed up your system unless your RAM is currently near to topping out. It is much slower, because it has to go through the USB interface, but it is a great free way to get that little extra in responsiveness when you need it.

    I think the jury is still out on how helpful windows readyboost actually is.

    There is a lot of conflicting information and tests out there. Personally on my laptop, it seems to run slower with it in, but that might be purely psychological!

    It is also very dependant on the speed of your memory stick. But yeah, I would agree with Daedalus, that it's worth a try if your ram is full when playing FM, otherwise not really much help.

    I guess it also depends on which bit needs speeding up... if it's slow when watching matches, more ram might help, but if you want things to process faster between matches, it probably won't help as much as I believe that is more about raw CPU power.
