Nah, I pretty much just let it ride. Maybe I'll shut down some server or two, but typically it doesn't make much of a difference.
you must have a decent rig
p4 1.2GHZ with 512MB here
1gig of RAM is essential!
buy another 512mb for $39: http://www.slickdeals.net/#p6034
yeah newegg has 1g for 80 i think
i was thinking i could use the upgrade
i got another 512 offf newegg last week... should be at my company when i fly home today... ill grab it on the way home and then be kicking it with a GiG O ram... aawwwwwwwww junk
do you think a 1.4 to 2.2GHZ upgrade for 100 bucks is noticable?
Probably. Depends on other factors as well, but it should give you a decent boost. What video card do you have?
radeon 9000 but it only has 32MB so that doesn't help for the texture loads
Wanna buy my old radeon 9600 for cheap?
I just upgraded to a 6800 GT
agp4? how much?
128MB, AGP 8x.

It's a Radeon 9600, vanilla.
How about $50?
