Yes, it should improve performance. I don't know what Coy_Roy is on about (and neither does he by the sounds of it).

My puter, which is admittedly old, goes into restart after CTL-ALT-DEL is pressed....only going into task manager if a program is not responding.

I assumed others did as well....if I'm wrong, I apologize to the OP.

So yeah, I did know what I was talking about but I made an incorrect assumption.

Wow, what bizzaro OS and its settings are you using over there Coy?

I cant think of a single windows, well since 95, that doesnt default to some kind of task manager when ctrl-alt-del is hit.

So does this work for every poker program, how do you make it permanent?

What is realtime? It is above High so must be bigger right?

Am i right in thinking this sets priorities for how the processor and memory is used, so if two programs want to run a process at the same time, the one that is higher runs first (extrapolated out to hundred processes at once etc)

On most computers, if you hit ctrlaltdel twice in a row, it shuts down. Hitting it once should bring up task manager.

Realtime will starve the rest of your computer and make it very difficult to use. It won't even be easy to get back to the task manager to set the priority back down. I wouldn't do it.

I can't say if it really makes a positive difference as I don't play on FT, but I did used to do this to get the Pacific client to work better.

If you want to make it start up in high priority each time then you need to make a batch file and use the start command, eg: "start /high FT.exe".

I am playing at fulltilt right now (play money tables) after making the change to high priority.

I definately see a slight improvement in performance.

And also , so far at least, I have experienced no lag!
