Review by Sally Normer: This one is definitely aimed at the experienced user. It's possible to do quite a bit of (hopefully temporary) damage if you don't know what you're doing, but equally it's possible to improve your PC's performance for specific tasks without shelling out for new hardware. It's not going to turn an old office desktop into a fast games machine, but it could extend the working life of some PCs for a while. (4/5 - 28-Mar-2005)
