I just have multiple Phoenix .bats in my Phoenix folder for different purposes. One called Full.bat for high aggression when I won't use the computer at all, one called Use.bat for when I'm using the computer but not for anything particularly intensive, and one called Perf.bat for gaming and the like.
I also have a Namecoin.bat for mining Namecoins.
interesting, does that switch automatically, or do you still gotta click some buttons?
You can also switch of hardware acceleration for flash videos(rightclick video at youtube, settings and uncheck it), so the CPU does the work for flash instead of GPU. Works fine.
true, but that doesnt work for normal videos, or games
gonna do it anyway, cuz it still eats away Mhash, thanks for the tip!
edit: tried superwebs tip, doesnt work for me: as soon as i turn on the mining, youtube slows down, also after unchecking hardware acceleration in firefox
