Making EB Run Faster - A Guide

IMHO it also helps if you increase the size of your paging memory file, under Control Panel -> System, advanced. Then set the paging file to something like 1000mb normal size and 2000 max, or whatever number beyond that suits your fancy. The game only needs about 750mb paging size to run, but that's the absolute minimum. Give it more to minimise lag.

Actually the optimal size for a page file is 1.5 times your installed memory. So if you have 2 gigs of memory then your page file should be 3 gigs etc. Setting the page file to anything else is just a waste of resources and won't help performance at all.

This stuff really helped me increase the performance of my PC, and its advice freed up about 10gigabytes of fragmented and useless information.
I freed up 2 more gigabytes by moving low-computer intensive games to my crappy desktop, and uninstalled all games that are on both computers depending on which computer it worked best on.

Also, I'd like to suggest using the App Quick kill http://www.anappaday.com/downloads/2...quickkill.html
It deletes all the non-essential backround programs in the Ctr-Alt-Delete style, you can also set it to not-delete certain problems, plus its much faster to start and use than ctr-alt-delete.
