Been using the latest Diskeeper myself, just upgraded from a older version. Noticed a improvement almost immediately. May try that program in the shop.
Been curious lately to do a online check of speedupmypc after a tune up ( for grins ) to see what kind of spin they spew out. anyone done this ? Of course what I NEED to do is a clean install, always impressed how much that cleans up a system and makes it perform but saving that for a new build and will stream this box to server status and stream my existing a7n8z asus to the pile. :-D fp At 07:52 AM 5/27/2010, Scoobydo Poked the stick with: >MyDefrag huh?
