Even if you have a very fast computer, this doesn't mean that Windows and all the applications will work very fast. That's because the Windows operating system can sometimes give a wrong priority to certain applications and games, making them use less CPU power than they would need and causing them to run slow. This problem cannot be fixed in Windows, but can be easily fixed when installing the PCBoost application.

This simple Windows program allows you to speed up applications, by giving them a higher priority and reducing the priority of the ones which don't require so much CPU power. PCBoost is very easy to install, featuring a simple and straightforward installation process. After installing and launching the application, the user will be presented with a graphical interface, which displays used and free CPU in real time, as text and also as a pie chart.

In this way, the user will know from a glance how much CPU is used by running applications. The user can test his CPU performance, by running a series of tests, directly from the program's interface. In this way, he will know if his CPU needs replacing or it's good enough for running most recent applications. PCBoost can also display in real time the name of the application which currently uses the CPU.

By using a simple slider, the user can adjust the level of acceleration which will be offered by PCBoost. As such, he will be able to customize the priority level which will be given by PCBoost to applications. The program is able to accelerate programs in real time and to detect the applications which require more CPU power.

Pros

It allows you to accelerate programs and improve their performance, by analyzing the ones which require more CPU power. Besides that, CPU usage can be displayed in real time in the program's interface, as text and as a pie chart. Furthermore, the acceleration level can be customized by using a simple slider.

Cons

The program can't work efficiently with older CPUs. PCBoost allows you to easily improve the performance of your favorite applications and games, by giving them a higher priority and a greater amount of CPU power.
