GameFirst III even has a built-in Network Monitor tool, so you can supervise your network traffic and test your connection speed? to check that you're getting the bandwidth you pay for!

Dynamically Unleash Your RAM - Twenty Times Faster than an SSD!

With RAMDisk you can turn system memory into super fast temporary storage. Put large files, such as game maps, into RAMDisk and watch loading times fly - you'll never again wait to play.
