I was just wondering if anybody knows of a good free program to help boost your pc's performance and make it run smoother. I know its kind of general, but please post if you have any suggestions.

Download the latest drivers if you havent already. Thats all I can think of. If your not getting the performance you want its because you have a med end card they arent meant for maxing games at high resolutions only lower ones like 1024x768 and 1280x1024.

When your computer is booting enter startup and select the third choice down which should be something like "Advaned Chipset Features" and if it's at 133 change it to 166.

But that can make your computer overheat. Plus its a rather dsimply, but delicate precedure.

Also try a de-frag

This is called overclocking... and saying where the options are for doing it is well.... You can't do that since it is different on every single motherboard. Look up a forum for people with your same motherboard, and they can tell you ho to overclock properly.
