In this thread please post tips and tricks on how to make games run better.
Ill start it

This is for UNREAL 2 but i have found that you can do this with most games.

To start Unreal 2 in above normal priority do the following steps:
Open up notepad and enter the following text without the quotes “start /ABOVENORMAL Unreal2.exe”.

Now save this document as Unreal2.bat in your Unreal 2 System folder.

Now all you have to do is create a shortcut to Unreal2.bat in your Unreal 2 start menu folder or on your desktop and use it to launch the game. You can also change the icon by right clicking on the shortcut and choosing properties. Once the properties menu comes up click the “Shortcut” tab and toward the bottom there should be a button that says “Change Icon”. Just click on that and browse to your Unreal 2 system folder and select your Unreal 2.exe icon.

In U2 I have found that I have gained 10-15 fps in differnt parts of the game. (Warning this will not work for every person that tries it.) (I also gained 20-25 fps in gta3 and around the same in ut2003)
Please no spaming!
 
In BF1942 - use hardware sound
16 bit color
no shadows
 
BF42 is all relative though...hardware sound slows mine way down. :b
