Product Overview:
"SpeedBooster is a software that will allow you to focus the CPU to certain tasks, that require more hardware power. It has an easy to use interface, quite the opposite from the advanced internal functionality. It runs on multiple platforms Pocket PC, Smartphone, both the 2003 and the 2005 platforms. Get as much as you can out of your Mobile Device right now! "

This is really neat software. Instead of overclocking your entire system, it just gives "higher priority" to specific programs, thereby making them respond faster.

It makes your system feel more zippy with out the over-clocking side effects (massive battery drain).

The developers are really good guys (they fixed an issue I had literally overnight) and at $5.40 this program is a steal.

Highly Recommended.

i'm going to give this a try. i normally use xcpuscalar '07, but like you said, it drains your battery.

Does this help speed everything up even pie? Can you install it to memmory card? If it works like it says without any conflicts with any other programs it's way worth it.

You choose what program(s) to give priority too.

So you run the program, launch PIE, then "refresh" the program and move the slider to give it priority. You can do this for any and as many apps as you want.

I'd put in main mem--why put it on a card? It's like 200kb. If you can't spare that you have other issues to take care of

Understand, it doesn't overclock the program just gives it's a higher priority.

You can do the same on WinXP: Ctrl-alt-Del brings up Windows Task Manger

--> Processes

Right click on any app and "Set Priortity".

Same thing here.

If you set your xcpuscalar to high priority, would it boost the whole system? Just a thought but probably not gonna happen.

that would be cool if it could do that...

I'm not sure what this means.

XCPUScalar already does OC the entire system (even over-riding scaling). The only thing setting it to a higher priority would do is make the actual program pop-up faster.

Either way, that combo would be a sure-fire battery killer.

I know XCPUScalar is already oc the entire system but if we set it to higher priority, would it give us twice the performance as running XCPUScalar alone? Yeah even if it will, it would probably kills the battery twice as fast also.

no it would not work. xcpu overclocks the cpu. What this does is give a selected program a higher priority for the cpu when it's running. Does nothing for speed per se... Giving xcpu more priority over other programs I could see as definitely causing negative effects.

Are there any reviews on this yet. How well is it working? Any conflicts or lockups with it? Thanks in advance.
