When i quite any one of my games dashboard is guning in the back ground. I know that Dashboard draws very little CPU clocktime. But as a mac gamer i need all i can get. Is there a way to shut off dashboard, besides trashing it? I dont know about any of you other guys out there but 10.4 didnt really help me pick up any FPS, at points 10.4 seems slower to me.

Any help would be great

What do you mean "Dashboard is guning (running?) in the background"? Don't use Dashboard and it won't be doing anything. It is a function of the Dock, so you can't "shut it off." There have been 500 billion threads on this.

yes guning = running. I found what happen my bro downloaded a widget called dasher which turned dashboard on after the comp was idel for a set amount of time

thanks for your kind help

Look at the CPU monitor, dashboard uses 0% when in the background.

It doesn't use any CPU when inactive.
