Jump to first occurrence of: [UNIBLUE]  Speed Up My PC $39.95 LIUtilities (Uniblue Systems) contact@uniblue.net http://www.liutilities.com Scorecard Performance 4 Ease Of Use 5 Installation 5 Documentation 4 Price 4 Overall Score 4.4/5 Troubleshooting system problems that affect PC performance is an arduous task. Often, even if a user can identify performance bottlenecks such as wasted memory, he is powerless to eliminate them. Fortunately, programs such as Speed Up My PC can identify the troublemakers in a sluggish PC and perform tweaks to boost performance to optimum levels. Other programs have a more extensive range of performance tweaks than Speed Up My PC, but they are generally more confusing for novice users to operate. That's why we like Speed Up My PC: Its interface is easy to understand, suggested tests and tweaks are clearly explained, and its efforts are generally productive. Speed Up My PC addresses some of the flaws that have plagued Windows users for years, including memory leakage (loss of memory that occurs when programs do not release all the memory they were using at closing), inefficient Internet settings, and bloated startupmenus (where too many programs have set themselves to open at startup regardless of whether you need them). Speed Up My PC also has anticrash technology that helps you recover when a program or system error causes Windows to freeze. The one problem we found in testing Speed Up My PC is that performance enhancements degrade after a few days of constant operation. If this occurs with your PC, rebooting should fix the problem. Ironically, some users with fast, newer systems report that Speed Up My PC reduces performance. This problem is likely due to conflicts between performance tweaks applied by Speed Up My PC and those made by the manufacturer or Windows itself. Therefore, if your system is already running well, Speed Up My PC may not be necessary (and may even be detrimental). However, if you have an older or sluggish system, Speed Up My PC may be just the solution you need.  by Jennifer Farwell |
