Is there anyway I can improve/upgrade my computers performance for gaming?

Q. I have an iMac 2011 21.5 inch(plz don't hate) and I play a lot of video games on my computer...I installed windows 7 on my mac(from parelells) so I can run windows only games on my computer

Specs:

Processor: Intel core i5-2400S CPU @ 2.50 GHz(Quad core)
Installed Memory (RAM): 4.00 GB for my Windows 7(I have 8 gigs total)
System type: 64-bit Operating system
Video Card: AMD RADEON HD 6750M 512 MB

There is always holiday season when I can get new parts for my computer so I am not unwilling to spend money if I have too

Please help!

A. I don't think that your specs are that bad. That should work, but if your going to be doing alot of games, maybe that 8GB could be improved to 16GB or something around that. You may just want to in general, add more since you have 4GB left. I think that your fine with everything else, especially the 64-bit operating system. Never seen windows 7 installed on a mac, but I'd imagine that it could work out. I have it on my computer :). Also, I think that it is fine that you have an iMac 2011, don't see why someone would hate on you for it.

One thing though; I wouldn't personally use parelles; not sure if that is just me. Boot camp (from what I know of) is installed on every mac, so I think that it would have been better to use.

I do have one tip, but it isn't related to your specs: port triggering/forwarding. Some online games, that in order to function at an optimal level require having ports forwarded. Of course, I would need to know your router model, and the actual game that you want the ports forwarded on for advice on that. You can google search which ports the game takes, even though alot of games don't even require that. Don't even worry about port forwarding unless the game crashes/disconnects alot.

Have fun gaming!

Computer Games?
Q. Where can you find all the information you need about computer games (pc) for example how to improve performance in your computer, network problems, overclocking graphics cards, etc

A. 4 Ways to Speed Up Your Computer's Performance
Free Up Disk Space
By freeing disk space, you can improve the performance of your computer. The Disk Cleanup tool helps you free up space on your hard disk. The utility identifies files that you can safely delete, and then enables you to choose whether you want to delete some or all of the identified files.

Use Disk Cleanup to:

� Remove temporary Internet files.

� Remove downloaded program files (such as Microsoft ActiveX controls and Java applets).

� Empty the Recycle Bin.

� Remove Windows temporary files.

� Remove optional Windows components that you don't use.

� Remove installed programs that you no longer use.


Tip: Typically, temporary Internet files take the most amount of space because the browser caches each page you visit for faster access later.
------
Speed Up Access to Data
Disk fragmentation slows the overall performance of your system. When files are fragmented, the computer must search the hard disk when the file is opened to piece it back together. The response time can be significantly longer.

Disk Defragmenter is a Windows utility that consolidates fragmented files and folders on your computer's hard disk so that each occupies a single space on the disk. With your files stored neatly end-to-end, without fragmentation, reading and writing to the disk speeds up.

When to Run Disk Defragmenter

In addition to running Disk Defragmenter at regular intervals, optimally monthly, certain events warrant running the utility outside of the monthly rule of thumb.

You should run Disk Defragmenter under the following circumstances:

� You add a large number of files.

� Your free disk space nears 15 percent.

� You install new programs or a new version of Windows.

-------
Detect and Repair Disk Errors
In addition to running Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter to optimize the performance of your computer, you can check the integrity of the files stored on your hard disk by running the Error Checking utility.

As you use your hard drive, it can develop bad sectors. Bad sectors slow down hard disk performance and sometimes make data writing (such as file saving) difficult, or even impossible. The Error Checking utility scans the hard drive for bad sectors, and scans for file system errors to see whether certain files or folders are misplaced.

If you use your computer daily, you should try to run this utility weekly to help prevent data loss.

Tip: Only select the Automatically fix file system errors check
box if you think that your disk contains bad sectors.
---------
Protect Your Computer Against Spyware
Spyware collects personal information without letting you know and without asking for permission. The information that spyware collects ranges from a list of Web sites that you visit to usernames and passwords. In addition to privacy concerns, spyware can hamper your computer's performance.
