Can your PC handle Crysis?

My apologies for not posting in four days. I was busy with other stuff. :-) So let’s get down to another great Web 2.0 site today!

Almost every gamer ran into the time when they installed a new game, that met system requirements, only to find out the game wasn’t running smoothly or not at all. Unfortunately, games like Crysis requires a little more than minimum. So how do you know if you computer is up to it? With System Requirements Lab! What makes System Requirements Lab so great is that it actually tells you how well your computer will play a game and not just if it meets the bare requirements. Passing the minimum usually doesn’t cut it on most modern games and System Requirements Lab gives you detailed charts on where you computer is and if your computer can handle that new game you’ve been eyeing. Maybe now’s a time to upgrade your PC…

Defragmenting your harddrive shouldn’t be a hassle

I’m sure that even novices know that their computer starts too slow down over time. However, most people don’t know how to fix it and those that do often use the one that comes with Windows. However, the defragmenter in XP makes the computer unusable during the process and the Vista one doesn’t seem too effective.

Let me explain why a PC would slow down in the first place. Data fragmentation occurs when a piece of data in memory is broken up into many pieces that are not close together. (Quoted from Wikipedia) Basically, a disk defragmenter would correct that problem by bring relevant files together to increase performance. If you want more insight, read an article about defragmentation here.

What has been missing on the market for a while has been a free yet quality defragmenter. Smart Defrag fills in that void. It is a great defragmenter for any Windows operating system and it offers superiority to the Windows preinstalled versions. Not only does it work great at its job, it stay low-key like the one found in Vista. Smart Defrag works silently in the background, with low CPU and RAM usage. It makes maintaining computer performance as easy as 1-2-3!
