Boost your Gaming with Free Game Booster

Games - Oh! Ya!. One of the words kids and teens love to hear and these days kids and teens seek all types of computer games and stuffs. I am not much of game freak but I still play computer games for few hours. I have been playing NFS Most Wanted for few days. I currently play it on my Laptop which is no way for gaming. Its an entertainment Laptop (for movies – wide screen) but it can at least handle games like Far Cry and NFS Most Wanted.

Now playing such heavy games used to crash my Laptop, so I needed to find a solution to not crash my Laptop and be able to enjoy gaming for hours. And I got it. It was almost magical as my Laptop was able to withstand the pressure. I got this small program to boost my Gaming. Its just 1 MB (821.77 KB to be precise) and its a freeware. It is called Game Booster (quite simple to guess) and is from IObit – the maker of the famous Advanced System Care – one of the best free system utility and Smart Defrag – the best free windows defragmentation program.

This program is totally safe and is based on a simple theory – Games need resource (CPU and RAM). So this program give the games what they need. Let me explain it in tutorial mode.

Below is the screen shot of Game Booster. When you start Game Booster you get the following windows. You need to click the big button “Switch to Gaming Mode!“. What it does is it stops the unnecessary windows service. It stops windows service which are not necessary for running games for example windows time, windows search, windows error reporting etc.

When you click the “Switch to Gaming Mode!” button the window shown below pops up. It asks you if you want to stop background programs. As most of these programs are needed for gaming you can close them. It will not only be saving more RAM but also CPU resources which may be getting utilized in background.

NOTE: This list of Background may contain you Antivirus program as well. If you are connected to Internet or any other network then uncheck it.

Now the program will stop the unnecessary programs. It is extremely safe and it does not change any registry. In few seconds (less than a minute) you will be in Gaming Mode and it will show which programs and services were stopped and how much RAM was recovered. My screen shot here shows 74 MB. The best I got was 172MB (I have 1 GB Ram only). Now you are ready to start your game. You will find your game loading faster and giving better FPS and stability.

In Gaming Mode, you internet will still work as Internet is needed for multiplayer games. When you are done with you gaming. Just click “Back to Normal Mode” and every service and program which was stopped will start again.

I am very impressed with the program. It uses a basic theory. I just imagine why didn’t any one else tried it (I do not know of any other such programs). But you need to remember one thing, this is no magic so don’t expect to be able to play games which never loaded on you system. Get your free copy of Game Booster now.

NOTE: This is a Windows only Program which works on all windows.
