"Actually works!"
Version: Game Booster 3.2
Pros
Actually increases game performance and reduced online latency issues.
Easy to use interface.
Tons of options.
Works with Windows 7!
Can switch from game mode to normal mode on the fly.
Built in Defragger for games and other demanding applications.Cons
Doesn't allow commands to be added to game shortcuts. If you want a shortcut to have specfic commands (like -window -vidmode etc). You have to make the shortcut yourself on your desktop; add the commands; and then drag the shortcut over to the game booster menu.
Summary
I was having problems within various games under windows 7; such as slowdown, online lag. Even after trying many system tweaks and shutting down many background applications. So I decided to give this program a chance. After trying programs like this in the past I didn't expect much. Well...I was wrong, this one actually does work. Windows 7 and Vista have so many background services and applications running. Many of them can cause serious lag issues; especially in online games. You can try disabling them yourself, but there's so many of them. Not to mention shutting them down can cause serious system errors.
With Game Booster on the other hand this all done automatically in the background. Simply add your game or application shortcut to menu and click boost. All of the unnecessary background task are suspended temporary while playing your game. After the game is closed down; game booster initiates all of the background task and returns windows to it's standard operations. -

"Amazing speedup program for gaming!"
Version: Game Booster 3.2
Pros
Helps clear your system of all unnecessary programs for gaming, and then you can shut down to normal function with the blink of an eye, and that's with the free version.
Cons
I have had a few crashes, but I have no proof it was not the games themselves. And with the performance increase I have seen, I doubt it. The free version only allows you to keep one game in your "gamebox" but its as easy as drag and drop.

"Doesn't do what it says."
Version: Game Booster 3.2
Pros
Can't find any.
Cons
It takes up too much RAM that it actually slows down my computer/game.
It turns off my necessary programs. -
"Excellent software"
Version: Game Booster 3.2
Pros
Free, easy to use, allows you to add certain games or applications that you want to boost.
Cons
None that I can find
Summary
I have been using this for over a year, I DJ and the software I use when making mixes or broadcasting can really drain the system resources so I start this and run it and it kills all unneeded programs and processes.
This is by far the best software I have found around that is for boosting your system. -
"It does what it claims to do."
Version: Game Booster 3.2
Pros
One enjoys better performance while playing games.
In this version (3) the installed games appear in the program window and once you select a game to play, pc is automatically put in game mode and the game is started. Once you exit the game, computer is restored to normal mode also automatically.
You can even use game mode to boost performance in order to use resource-hungry programs.Cons
The only thing that goes wrong for me is that when the computer is restored to normal mode, the language bar is not being correctly displayed but switching between keyboard layout works fine. Not much of a problem.
Summary
I think it is a nice program to use. It really boosts the computer's performance and makes even previously unplayable games playable.
