what is the best software to tweak the computer so it will run smoother

[Smithyoffline]

My 2.8 GHz seems to be running jerky sometimes, I don't know whether it is because I have hyperthreading enabled or what but I would just like to know whether anyone know a good tweaking software in which i can fix this problem and/or make the computer run smoother

i don't think there's any magic software that will get rid of your problems... you might have to troubleshoot this one...

have you defragged recently? computer specs? When is it jerky, in games, in windows/linux? more info please

my computer is: 2.8c Ghz, 2x 512mb PC3200 ram, gigabyte motherboard with 800FSB. It runs smoothly in games, but in windows after pressing the start button and going to control panel, the computer freezes for about 5 seconds before the icons are displayed next to the control panel. Same with right clicking on an object it seems to take a while to go into the "send to" icons.

Thanks For Any Help 🙂

Sisoft Sandra Performance Tune Up module should be able to give you some good feedback on your system.

my friend's dell p4 does that... what motherboard are you using?

I'd run AdAware and Spybot Search and Destroy before anything else. Even the most cautious downloader will get some kind of malware on their computer.
