SpeedUpMyPC

SpeedUpMyPC is a powerful utility for getting the most out of your computer. And what's particularly nice about this program is that it's fairly intuitive. Unlike some similar programs you wouldn't have to be a seasoned computer veteran or have a degree in Computer Science to benefit from it. To begin with, the program can monitor the uses of the computers processor (CPU). By doing this, it makes sure that CPU resources aren't monopolized by one or two greedy programs. And, if a program tries to snag too much processor time, SpeedUpMyPC can help prevent a crash! Very slick. Another way the program speeds up your system is by helping you to control which programs load each time your computer starts up. Eliminate things that aren't needed and not only does your computer start faster, but you also have more memory available.

SpeedUpMyPC also has a function that's designed to keep track of your systems memory. The program will monitor the amount of free RAM (Random Access Memory) and can automatically free up memory if and when it's needed. This also means fewer crashes. And, while I'm speaking of crashes, the program has a segment devoted to keeping crashes to a minimum. This portion of the program is designed to help save you from system crashes by giving you the ability to shut down problem programs before they cause a full-blown crash! And lastly, the program has a segment designed to improve your speed on the Internet. It can test your connection and give you an idea of what your true speed is. My satellite modem is clocking out at around 7.1 Mbps -- pretty good. At the same time, SpeedUpMyPC can optimize your computers settings, based on your type of connection, so you get the most speed possible.

SpeedUpMyPC is a well-rounded package for optimizing the key components of your computer. By monitoring your RAM and the functions of the CPU, it helps your computer to function in more of an optimal state. With a segment designed for catching crashes before they happen, it gives you more control over the situation. And, with the ability to optimize your connection to the Internet, it helps give you the most speed possible for surfing and downloading. So, if you'd like to speed up and optimize your computer without investing in a faster processor or a gigabyte of RAM, take a good look at SpeedUpMyPC! It's easy-to-use and has a very understandable and intuitive interface. Check it out for yourself -- you're going to like it!

Here is our take on various connections

Cable - Speeds vary dramatically 1-5 Mbps - plus there can be a serious slowdown due to congestion from too many users. Accelerator software can help increase web speed with various optimizing routines. Many cable companies offer a special combined deal with cable TV and internet access together. Usually you have the same IP number unlike dialup modems where you are usually assigned a different number every time you connect. So with cable, you usually have less anonymity and more security risk as your internet connection is on constantly and hackers are more able to easily zero in on your constant IP designation.

DSL - Various setups 1.4+ Mbps. The speed can also fluctuate depending on the distance from the central connection switch. With cable connection slow-down a growing problem, many users are seeking a good DSL provider.

ISDN - Dual-channel is 128 Kbps. Single-Channel is 64Kbps. Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) includes integrated services to help speed up fax delivery, etc.

56K Dialup - Usually much less than 56Kbps. Dialup speeds vary by the quality of the phone line and the many different user configurations. You can connect to your ISP account from most computers. When you disconnect, you are truly disconnected unlike most always on high speed plans which pose somewhat of a security risk. Usually you will be assigned a slightly different IP number every time you connect providing some anonymity. Web accelerator software designed to boost your speed can really help with these connections.
