Couple ?'s firewall and mmo's

[cyprus1234]

Will i gain performance by turning off windows firewall while playing an mmo? Second question is it safe?

 

[edmond419]

I don't think so. It is not safe either

To gain performance in playing mmo
- turn off Windows Aero,
- use lower screen resolution or texture quality
- use the "high performance" power plan
- close unnessary programs like messenger, skype, internet browser, mIRC etc...

lol do people still use mIRC?

 

[edmond419]

yes

SwiftIRC is a good network for RuneScape players
