so its just a scam?

 

not a scam, just changing setting whithout explaining what the effect is. last point is the only valid one but is irrelevant if you dont have a dedicated graphics card, but as oure_box900 says it will most likely not help in any real world scenario

it looks like he limited the memory windows can use and when it restarted he might have added more ram in

or virtual memory is also a slower i believe

and it's much easyer to get into the bios than that

 

he only has 1.7k subs so he obviously isn't as trustworth as linus ram is chaep now anyways so just buy more

 

the 1st and 2nd step wont hurt but the third step... not sure why you have to change graphics settings that doesn't make sence and might break something notice how he didnt record him saving changes or anything like that
