ok, nearly there, but still not as good as Fidelizer, the sound is still a bit lean, what is Fidelizer doing to get that effect ?
The last trick up our sleeve is some more free software called Game Booster 3, which actually stops non essential services and makes quite a difference to the sound, giving a deeper, richer tone and more layers to the music. Magic. On my laptop it has stopped 12 services and claims a 42% boost in performance. Like Process Lasso it can be set to run at startup, I have the following in a .bat file in the startup folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\IObit\Game Booster 3\GameBooster.exe" -game http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html be careful when installing as the install tries to trick you into installing extras like Yahoo browser bar etc, in fact it might be a good idea to step through the install the first time and just select skip on each screen so you can see what it is trying to do. once running you can add the squeezeserver.exe and squeezetray.exe to the gamebox, press the boost button and you're all set. The services can be restored by pressing the restore button. Go to Process Lasso and set the gbtray.exe to default priority idle and default core affinity 0. It now sounds better than Fidelizer and I am in control, I know what is being done to my machine, the settings are there when I boot the machine and the sound is wonderful. pps Found a great tool for understanding what is being started at start up, allows items to be deselected from startup and is the most comprehensive tool I have seen. I used it to find out why the Process Lasso management console kept starting up at startup, turns out there was a scheduled task set up which I then disabled. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s...rnals/bb963902 -- SBGK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SBGK's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52003 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93257 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
