None, I kill everything in taskmgr that has my user name in it, keeps the FPS up

I kill every application under my name except xfire.exe, setpoint.exe, atitool.exe and explorer.exe. I have 24 processes running when I end all except those.

Re: How many background Processes?

I have about 39 processes running playing BF2.

But i removed most automated processes, that my pop up in the middle of a game.

At idle my comp uses about 250mb RAM, durining play spikes at 880mb.
