Is the latest Game Booster3.4 safe for 64 bit systems,or since I just had a new very high end computer built for me do I neen it at all?
I'am running Windows 64 bit Home Edition,Intel core 53.3GHZ LGA1150 CPU 4 core nVidea Vidio PCIe Card 1.25GB DDR ,CoolerMaster Hyper TX Enhanced cooling w/copper pipes,GigabyteZ77 SLI/CrosFire ATX Mainboard,1TB HD with a 2 tb external drive ,lots of room for expansion ,I could go on but I'am tired of typing.
Any way do I need it(Game Booster that is)?If some of this doesn't make sense it's because I'am tired of typing and don't know if I copied this right from the invoice. Thanks
 
Personally I never found it much use at all, especially as you have a high end machine on an aged sim. Though I suppose it depends on how much you have running in the background.
 
I found that GameBooster (and similar utilities) helped with game and sim performance, but only with single core and slower dual core CPU's. With dual core CPU's of 3GHz or quad core CPU's you probably won't see a bit of difference.

The same goes for sound cards. Old systems really needed a sound card because on-board sound chips use CPU cycles. With modern computers you only need a sound card if you don't like the sound quality provided by the on-board chip.
 
thaks guys for your replys

Since I'am not used to having a higher end computer and with my old one on XP and a 128 ATI card the only way I could run FS9 was use msconfig. I did lookup on the web how to use msconfig for Windows 7 but when I try it and go to" hide all Microsoft sevices" and" disable all" when I check back all the boxs are rechecked ,but what I'am getting from your posts is I shouldn't need it anyway.
I keep forgetting to mention I have yet to reinstall FS9 ,although it was on my external HD I got a bunch of scenery area error messages when I tried to run it, so I uninstalled it.
I got error messages from CFS2,and First Eagles so did the same with them. CFS3 and IL2 and DPC Korea all work fine.
I'am not used to running FS9 without msconfig as I would always lose textures.Ten years work on FS9 down the tubes , so we'll see how it runs after I reinstall it.
Thanks again.
 
As I remember, the engine code in FS9 wasn't written to take advantage of multicore processing, so by default, it runs on core zero and leaves the rest. You can start FS9 and then set the affinity to more cores via the task manager, but when I did that on my dual core rig, I actually got a drop in frames.
 
Tom is correct about core usage. FS9 was written before there were any multi-core CPU's, so it is coded to use only one core, core0 by default.
