SpeedItUp offers users a simple way to increase their computer's performance. This exciting program takes a lot of the guess work out of speed and memory, making a more streamlined operation for all involved.
This freeware appears as a small box with a bar chart featuring your computer's RAM that immediately draws attention. This tells you what percentage is being used currently. Below are four tabs aimed at relieving your system of the stress that slows computer performance down. The Speed It Up tab looks at Windows optimization, RAM Booster, Internet Cleanup, and Hard Disk Speed up. Turning this on will first give your RAM a spring cleaning and show how much it dealt with. Next the hard disk is given a scrub and results are shown as well. Finally, the Internet is shaken clean. These three options are run together, but can be turned on separately as well, represented by their own customizable tab.
SpeedItUp cleans out all the space that hurts your computer's performance. In doing so, it also provides a simple-to-operate program that practically any computer user will understand. This is a fantastic addition to any desktop, as everyone can appreciate a program that speeds up their world.

Version: SpeedItup Free 4.95
"You will be reinstalling windows after using speeditup free. Zero rating 0.0"
Pros: Absolutely nothing.
Cons: This software adds some other nefarious too its install to be installed. It might work fine for someone but it messes up memory locations if you choose to stop using it. It also wants to run every reboot of windows. I found it too be quite irritating in constantly wants to defrag your disc. I recommend CNET and DOWNLOAD.com stop promoting it. It makes me realize how little reviewers actually know about products they promote. Do not install this software you will regret it.

Version: SpeedItup Free 4.95
Pros: This program did nocicably speed up my computer about 40% For a free program, I'll readily admit it improved performance.
Cons: 300% is quite a claim and not entirely believeable. And once again, it's a truncated version that doesn't do everything the paid-for version might.

Version: SpeedItup Free 4.95
"Problems, problems and vendor gave up"
Pros: Sounds like a great idea.
Cons: I had issues installing, 'customer service' slow to respond (and couldnt accept attachments??), then installed but would freeze part way through. Was referred to software company whose only advise was to uninstall. Huh?
Summary: dont bother...no support, doesn run.
