![]() ![]() Large Software PC Tune-Up helps somewhat, but we prefer the performance-boosting potency of iolo System Mechanic 8.5and TuneUp Utilities 2009. Still, you won't suffer poor notebook performance with PC Tune-Up running in the background while it was working behind the scenes, we were able to go about our day-to-day activities without an obvious hit, unless we had several actions occurring simultaneously (such as multiple browsers, and streaming music). By comparison, Macecraft jv16 PowerTools 2009completed the same task 29 seconds faster. ![]() Likewise, ripping the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' 11-track Show Your Bones CD took 7 minutes and 59 seconds before PC Tune-Up, and 7 minutes and 30 seconds after. ![]() Transcoding a 114MB video file, which originally took 13 minutes and 28 seconds, was reduced to 5 minutes and 45 seconds-but still 18 seconds slower than roundup leader TuneUp Utilities 2009 managed. The system boot time decreased a decent 12 seconds, to 1 minute and 18 seconds, but that improvement is still 5 seconds slower than what was achieved when testing competitor TuneUp Utilities 2009. PC Tune-Up also did not fare well on our real-world tests. After running PC Tune-Up, the system showed little to no improvement Cinebench scores went to 184 and 620, and Geekbench dropped to 692. The notebook scored 178 and 633 on Cinebench (tests of OpenGL and single-CPU muscle, respectively), while Geekbench achieved a 705 mark. Prior to using PC Tune-Up, we ran Cinebench 10 (a CPU and RAM benchmark) and Geekbench 2 (a CPU and GPU benchmark) on the four-year-old Inspiron 1150 to test the system's performance. ![]()
