AMD Processor owners, check this out - Hoby2000 - 05-24-2009

I was browsing the internetz looking for ways to speed up my computer for gaming (and emulating Metroid Prime), and found this neat little program for AMD Processors.

http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_fusion.aspx?p=1

Basically, it closes any process that do not need to be running while playing. I believe it's still in beta, but damn, it's neat. Seriously, if you haven't seen this, you should definitely check it out.

Sped up my Dolphin emulation by about 20 frames. It really works wonders.

that program will only help on ppl running billion of useless programs.

I gained 12 fps and I am running on the expert mode. I'm not having any problems with my internet though. The advanced Profile disables internet though.

Works only for Vista (on video is 32 bit, we don't know what about x64), I got only Windows XP 64 and 7 Ultimate x64 so seems totally useless for me.
EDIT: OK, I've found out in Support section that it works fine only on 32 bit os, on 64-bit causes lot of problems, hangs on's and other things of that kind. If someone want to try it on 64 bit XP it may partially works but there probably will be more problems than profits from it.

Anyone who's running Vista, is running a billion useless programs.


And it's supposedly suppose to crash your system with 64-bit, but I haven't seen an issue yet. I also don't really play graphically intesne games. But at the moment, it seems to be running really well. Used Nvidia's nTune to stress test my system while fusion was running, and I got great results.
