Vista SuperFetch or not SuperFetch

[TheMoose]

I've been investigating within forums if Vista feature SuperFetch is best for gamers. I'm split in half, seems the community is as well in the decision; some say it’s good, some say enabling is too hard on the hard disk. Some say below 2 gigs, disable it, but above enable it.

 

I tested Crysis without it and it does run flawlessly, was wondering on your input and your experiences. By the way I have 4 gigs under Vista 32 bit Business.

 

Thanks on your input.

 

 

Cheers

I never put a stopwatch to it but DCS:BS does seem to load faster in Vista compared to XP. I use never turned off the SuperFetch. I also use ReadyBoost.

 

Try it with Superfetch on and off and see if you notice any improvement.

thanks Slayer,

 

It is odd that Windows Help does not tell more about this. When I type in SuperFetch, it just tells me about ReadyBoost.

This fguy says leave it alone. it definetly helps Vista, but takes a little while to learn where things are and what you use (or something along those lines).
