Well people this is the Part II of the article, you can browse through the first article….

So, do you use your computer for easy tasks like, using Microsoft Word or reading an E-Book or some light tasks….Then probably the processor automatically scales down its frequency and volatage…..But it isn’t sufficient for most….especially for those using laptops and want more from their laptop battery.

So, you would love to have control on the frequency and voltage that your processor uses as it is very important for the battery life as well as the heat dissipated by the processor and all the other components.

Here is a program (although technical but easy) which can control the frequency as well as the volatge which is supplieed to the CPU….

Download RMClock CPU Utility

Whenever you change the settings, change it very slightly as if you increase it by a large margin, it could permanently damage your processor and/or other components…..Please read the program documentation carefully before you use…..Also use this program only when needed…..

So, you can now tune the frequency/voltage of the processor as per your usage and save energy as well as keep the processor cool….

AMD Fusion is an application developed by AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) for use with computers running AMD processors……

AMD states that using this application improves the gaming performance of the computer…..Let’s see what it really does???

AMD Fusion is an application which switches many of the services in the Windows XP / Vista operating system…… It helps in reducing the Load on the processor so that it is free to perform while running games, which may increase frame rate on slower systems…..But the faster systems may not see much improvement in frame rate / performance…..

A word about AMD OverDrive…..

AMD OverDrive is an application which is meant to overclock AMD / ATI systems…..It overclocks many components of the computer like Processor FID / VID (Core Frequency / Core Voltage), Graphics Card Core Speed, Memory (RAM) and many others……

But AMD provides a warning at the start of the program that overclocking may risk the components……But hey…..If you wanna have fun then overclock responsibly and in small steps….Also check the stability of the system after every small step…..

Have you been experiencing that your old PC is not running the latest games now as it had been doing so before….Do games ask for high requirements not met by your PC….Most probably in this case, it is your Graphics Card which is guilty….

The other hardware requirements are not as important as that of the Graphics Card. There are rapid advancements in the graphics in the games and hence more processing power is needed to run the game by a system. Also the trend in graphics hardware is such that any Graphics Card is rendered pretty useless in a period of about two years….

So, are you thinking of upgrading your Graphics Card….There are some steps to determine which is the right card for your system……

The Current systems have an PCI-E x16 (acronym for Peripheral Communication Interface-Express x16) slot which can handle all the Graphics Cards which are marked for systems having this slot. Always check the details in the Motherboard manual befor coming to any conclusion.

The Older Systems had an AGP (acronym for Accelerated Graphics Port) or had an built-in Graphics Card (like Intel x3100 or SiS 760GX in my old PC). So if you have a PC with an AGP slot then go for one marked for running on AGP Systems.

Jargon Buster:

There are namely two companies which offer Graphics Card to consumers:

1. ATI (Currently owned by AMD)…

2. NVIDIA.

***If you are looking for PCI-E x16 slot then consider the following cards from NVIDIA:

1. GeForce 8800GT

2. GeForce 9600GT

3. NVIDIA GTX200

4. NVIDIA GTX 280

***If you are looking for an ATI Based Graphics Card for PCI-E x16 then….

1. Radeon HD3200

2. Radeon HD 3470

3. Radeon HD 4850 X2

4. Radeon HD 4870 (X2 – Dual Core Graphics Card.)

The Radeon HD 4870 X2 is the current market leader in Graphics……

Here’s how you can improve the file-system on your computer so that your computer runs faster and speeds up the loading of all the applications.
You may know that when you buy a new PC…..The speed at which it runs is ‘lost’ after some days and your computer becomes slower than before…..

It is all because many files on your Hard Disk Drive get “Fragmented” i.e. A file is stored by the OS (Operating System) in many small parts and hence the time taken to access the file increases and hence the processor has to wait for a long time until the file has been completely accessed….

There are many tools available on the Internet to ‘defragment’ the files on your PC, which ultimately results in better performance……

Download Defraggler (An application developed by Piriform). It is a free tool which is very fast as compared to the Built-In Defragmenter in Microsoft Windows.(Yeah….I mean its really fast)……
