SpeedItUp Extreme

It's simple to use, but this tool simply fails to improve your system's speed. SpeedItUp Extreme's dialog-sized multitabbed interface is made up of easily selected and quickly implemented check boxes and buttons. The promised Help file is little more than useless promotional material.

The program's primary functions either promise to speed up your system or clean Internet tracks. The speed options implement Windows Optimization, RAM Booster, or HardDisk Speedup. Check a box and press a button to start the optimization process. SpeedItUp Extreme usually freed RAM on our test machines. However, we noticed most systems actually responded slower after using the other two optimizers.

We were better satisfied by the Internet Clean Up options, which quickly cleaned cookies, cache, and history files. Unfortunately, they only operated on Internet Explorer. An advanced option promised to automatically speed up the computer when the system isn't busy, but it never implemented during our tests. SpeedItUp Extreme doesn't live up to its name. Skip it and find a better tool to improve system speed.
