I've been using this with Parallel 6 on my MacBook Pro (2.3 i7 with 8gb ram), and so far so good. Installed without a glitch. None of my window programs are processor demanding, so the ones I'm using with this and parallels 6 run fast and smooth.


  

Tuneup Utilities 3-User

5.0 out of 5 stars The best, and possibly only utility suite worth using.

I was never into these type of utility programs, since all the ones I tried were just gussied-up registry cleaners, and you don't need a suite for that.

I came across Tuneup Utilities and was pleasantly surprised. Its optimization recommendations are thorough, doing such things as turning off Windows indexing, decreasing dropdown menu delay, making sure some elusive browser settings are optimized (like multiple-connection support in Firefox and Explorer), detects unnecessary network settings that may compromise security, and more. It even detects frequently/infrequently used programs/processes on the fly and automatically adjusts their CPU priority level; a very nice feature. Basically it walks you through optimizing Windows to your use at a depth that would require a fair amount of time and know-how otherwise. So I wound up paying for a utility suite, which I never in a million years thought I would do. Tuneup Utilities 3-User
It has some cosmetic addon feature that can change the look of your icons and menus by downloading themed modules from their site, but I never got into using it much.

Downloading the 15-day trial from their website is recommended. Those of you who feel too advanced for a utility suite may be pleasantly surprised.
