PC performance
« on: October 29, 2009, 05:49:39 PM »
This isn't really intended for people like Broken that use their i7 extreme to power through 50 startup services and other resource hogging apps.  :moon:  But maybe you have an old pc that you're too lazy to wipe and reload like me.

Maybe some of you have heard of this but I just used it on a customer's pc that had a fully peaked CPU, and it really helped.  There's a bunch of easy to use options.

There is a 30 free trial.  don't bother putting in your email address just click start download.  Enjoy!

Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

Just downloaded CC to check and it looks like Tune-up has more features, but alas only has a 30day trial

What if bodies just had random errors like computers do?
You go to receive your Starbucks coffee and accidentally punch the Barista in the face then Crap on the floor.
What kind of Fudgeing computer errors are you getting?

Yeah and you only use 5 pistons to drive, the other three are just to make noise when you drive by my house every morning.  :cussing:

eh it only uses 4 on idle, the full 8 is for noise, fun, or anger o.O

My car scares eco cars. My other car is the car of their nightmares.
