Sounds interesting ....  

But for $39 it better work.  :-)


I tried the Vista version ( free with OS ) and really did not see a noticeable improvement.  This software seems include many more features though...


In Vista they said that you see less and less of a benefit as you add more RAM to the system.   So the person with 1GB RAM in their system will see a big benefit, while the person with 4GB (3.2 GB in 32 bit mode) installed may not notice any improvement.

i have read more articles about this program and it seems to help out most with laptops and keeping the disk use down.

I should be recieving this laptop http://www.tabletpcreview.com/?newsID=416 this weekend. It has a memory card reader built in and since it only has 512mb of ram and the HDD is only 4200RPM I think the laptop would benifit from this program.


there is a free demo mode and the only limitations is that you have to reboot after 4 hours. so there is no harm in giving it a whirl.

With 512MB of RAM ....   You should see a performance increase with that program for sure...
