[nevergiveup]

I play games on my laptop computer. It has Intel Core 2 Duo processor, It has 2GHZ/sec processing speed. When I play games, the laptop fan becomes very active(the fun revolves fast)and never stops until the game is closed. When I check the Task Manager, the games FIFA08 and GTA SAN ANDREAS take about 200,000 k of memory, While explorer.exe takes only 50000k. I don't have problems while playing the games but I want to decrease the processing task involved, so that they can run like small applications. Can I use Virtual Memory? or is there any method?

Thanks in advance

What do you mean "decrease teh processing task involved"? A game is going as big as the resources would allow. Be happy it is taking up so much RAM - less lag from say hitting your hard drive instead.

Are you concerned about over heating or something? You mentioned the fan going on - yeah that's appropriate. Tons of video action means heat is generated. If the fan *WASNT* on I would be concerned.

For Instance, while running the game there is a small processing involved, The fan is also not that active(it revolves like every 5 minutes). But while running FIFA08 there is a huge processing involved. I want to use something like a virtual processor to decrease the burden on my real processor. Can I use a virtual memory for that purpose?

Thank you for taking your time

Dude, games like FIFA08 and San Andreas take way much more resources than Solitaire, because those games handle way more data and more complex algorithms. Don't forget that those games are 3D and not 2D like solitaire.

There is no way to lessen the resource usage of the game unless you have access to it's source code and can start optimizing there.

Just a heads up - 'virtual processing' still has to run through your processor, right? At best you are adding MORE overhead to your processor.

I am not sure what game was in that image - it's not showing up for me - but any recent GTA and FIFA game consume resources like a hog. Those a bulky games.

Perhaps you can cut off other tasks running to reduce threading, but that only works so much.

End game - this is just academic, right? You aren't concerned about overheating or something like that, right?

reduce all gfx options to minimum quality..
