@ freestufflaw to increase the fps of a game, you'll need a graphics card!

The better, the more fps you'll get!

I reccomend nvidia gtx 460

Hope it helps!

@memoe210 You don't upgrade that, get rid of it. It is a bad program. Get Foxit Reader.

@memoe210 I know, I was being sarcastic. I'm a teen too.

[memoe210]

I disagree about defragmenting the harddrive (HDD). Current versions of Windows e.g. Windows 7, can schedule the defrags. I.e. you can set Windows to regularly defrag the HDDs - once a month say - which keeps things running smoothly and your HDDs from working too hard.

Don't defrag too often as the defrag process itself wears the HDD, but don't leave it too long as an over fragmented HDD wears out more quickly. Once a month or maybe once a week on systems making a lot of file writes.
