How do I tweak my PC for maximum performance? Today I will attempt to give a single answer so I’m not repeating myself so often. FIRST, you need to install Process Lasso or CPUBalance. Why either/or?

So, you use a registry cleaner. Well, that’s fine, none of us wants to be ‘dirty’ and supposedly these tools will clean up your registry. Let’s do some analysis. When Microsoft designed Windows they realized that they would need a shared store for OS and application options. This store would need to support both the […]

New in our Insights module is a slider to control the refresh rate of the governor. We default to 1 second, but have found 500ms to be very responsive. Once you get below that (250ms minimum), you start to lose advantage. The increments are in 250ms in the slider. This is live in CPUBalance v1.0.0.40!
