Editorial Review of Actual Booster
I'm a sucker for any free utility that claims to speed up my PC, so
I risked hosing my PC and used Actual Booster for a month. (The
things I do for you...) Windows uses the Priority level to
determine how much CPU time an application gets (the default is
"normal"). Actual Booster automatically sets the priority level of
the program you're using to full blast. One thing to remember,
though, is that when you're multitasking, setting the priority to
high on one application takes processor time from the background
apps. If you have a brand-new, super-duper, quad-core PC, it also
might not do much good. Yet on slower PCs, and especially my
dog-tired notebook, I can see a difference. One downside: On some
PCs, Actual Booster causes the mouse to stumble.
