Right now I use a program called Game Booster to stop all running processes I don't need while gaming, its a decent program but seeing if anyone has any other input on software or programs or anything else to optimize game performance?

The only one i have ever heard of is gamebooster, sorry.
But, off topic, i noticed that ur m14x build is the exact same (minus soundblaster and SSD) that mine will be when it arrives.
Is there anything that you would have changed should you have done it over again? or is that build perfect for you? -

>Advanced SystemCare PRO (or get the free version) which has a boost feature which works more or less the same as Game Booster.
>TuneUp Utilities 2010/2011 : this one shuts down a lot of background services and even visual themes [not sure if it shuts down alienfx/command centre, not tried] so it should give a considerable boost [theoretically]. Its called Turbo mode and you just have to click a button on the bottom left hand corner of the window.
If I come across more, I'll sure post it here

There is a huge difference without soundblaster. Before I installed the drivers for the soundblaster, I was very disappointed by the sound quality, but after I have to say that the speakers are very very worth paying for. Only problem is Ive noticed a little crackling noise when I play music at max volume which might mean poor construction for my particular laptop. I hope thats not the case tho...

hmmmm if thats the case then I got ripped off didnt I?
I think I saw a post somewhere about the soundblaster drivers being online for free lol..
anyways all I kno is that unless you can find the drivers for the soundblaster online, I don't think there is a way to enable the klipsch speakers. When I first opened my alienware on Wednesday, the speakers were pretty quiet. After installing the drivers, the sound difference is very noticeable. -
The speakers are the same, the only difference is they give you the Sb program to mix the sounds a little different. The only thing is if you don't buy it they give you realtek HD audio manager which lets you do EQ, bass boost, and a bunch of other settings. This laptop has the most full sounding speakers I think I've ver heard.

Back to topic, why do you still need to use Game Booster with this laptop? because it wont make any different, unless you running the high graphic/CPU demand game/app.
For me I would need it after BF3 release - to squeeze out some few more fps. -
But then again, no harm in having those things around for sometime in the near future and BF3 like games that you just mentioned!
Game Boosters?
