I use it, and it actually works without any real risks that would prompt someone not to.

What it basically does is that it stops and processes or services that aren't required for playing games (configurable, in case there's something you want to keep running), cleans up as much RAM as it can, clears any temporary data, tweaks the computer's power settings to squeeze out as much performance as possible and dynamically alters process priorities to focus power on the game while pushing pretty much everything else aside. I get an average of 50% better performance in games when using it, which is a pretty noticeable difference.

I've been playing video games for 20 years, why would I need to implant myself with an augmentation.

You hanzers make me sick!

Unless You really don't care about Your system and have tons of useless stuff installed that runs 24/7 it will not make much of a difference. Plenty of games still aren't optimized to fully use x64 structure or DX11,to begin with. They don't have any effect on video card RAM either so can't improve graphics all that much. All They do is dump garbage form RAM on start and shut down some processes for minimal gain that is rarely noticeable. In some cases it even lower performance because the booster itself is running in Your background.

If You know a thing or two about OS and PCs it's much better to do things manually. Defrag every now and then doesn't hurt either.

No. I use custom profiles, drivers and tweaks.
Loading that onto my system would just mess shit up.

What things should I tell Game Booster to disable when I'm playing a game? Any suggestions? I'm not sure what I should keep running and what to turn off.

For the most part it takes care of that on its own. The only time I've ever really had to edit the settings was because Game Booster switched off a background process that caused iTunes to mess up whenever I switched out of gaming mode.
