Optimize your AW laptop by Powdaman!!!

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I have now had an indepth play with lots of things and have come up with a few great tweaks to try on an Alienware area51m laptop!!!

Firstly: goto this URL and follow the instructions http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/supertweaks.htm

Secondly: unless playing a game over the net, turn off the wireless card.
thirdly: make sure all unneccessary programs are stopped ie, antivirus and security etc etc.
Fourth: powerstrip settings that worked: Engine Clock 418.00 MHz Memory Clock 241.00 MHz.

Before doing any of this I got a score using 3dmark (latest build) of 2512.
I now get a score of 3077.

Try it...it definately works!!!!

Sounds great may I also suggest.....

Get drivers from www.omegacorner.com for ou video card better IMO than the ofical ATI / NVIDIA drivers from Alienware. (More Options)

Get winpatrol to kill all those nasty startup programs will even get rid of ones you had no idea where running.

Get TweakUI not prealy a preformace tweak but very useful!

To tweak your Internet connection goto www.pcpitstop.com and use their internet connection test it will tell you how many KBS you are pulling down and sending out with both download and upload tests.

If you do all these plus use www.blackviper.com tweaks and power strip you laptop should run any game great!
