New System Mechanic 12.5 Brings Real-Time Tuning to Computers

Exclusive LiveBoost™ Technology automatically maximizes available processor power, RAM and storage throughput

LOS ANGELES – December 12, 2013 – iolo technologies, recognized globally as the leading source for innovative computer optimization technology, today unveiled version 12.5 of its flagship PC performance optimization software. System Mechanic 12.5 includes new LiveBoost™ Technology, an exclusive feature designed to tune and optimize CPU, RAM, and storage drive resources in real-time. LiveBoost is comprised of three primary components:  OptiCore™, RAMJet™, and AcceleWrite™, and works transparently to eliminate multi-tasking lag and increase a computer’s overall responsiveness.

As the world’s leading PC optimization software, System Mechanic has been used by more than 45 million people to keep nearly 80 million computers in optimal condition since 1998. To date it is the most widely awarded and best selling product of its kind throughout North America, Europe, and other global markets.

For over fifteen years iolo’s has been committed the innovation and development of technology that keeps computers running at full potential.  With the release of System Mechanic 12.5 the company continues to pioneer unique approaches to maximum PC performance. New features include:

  • LiveBoost™ Technology: The ability of a computer to respond quickly to the operating system and the programs it runs is based on a critical triangle of components: The Central Processing Unit (CPU), RAM and the Storage Drive. If any of these components are compromised, the entire performance chain is affected. New LiveBoost™ Technology automatically keeps the key elements of responsive computing optimized in real-time so a PC is always ready for action:
  • OptiCore™ – Maximizes CPU power for important tasks and intensive operations such as games, video, graphics, and intensive multi-tasking. Most programs aren’t designed to share resources, even when running in the background or used only infrequently. Some apps even monopolize CPU resources such that a PC can’t be used for anything else while they’re running. OptiCore keeps the peace by preventing low-priority programs from creating lags and freezes when more important tasks need to get done. It‘s optimized for single, dual, quad, 6 and 8 core PCs and improves performance on Windows 8, 7, Vista and XP.
  • RAMJet™ – Automatically maximizes available memory when it’s most needed. Programs often fail to release memory they’ve reserved but are no longer using, artificially lowering physical RAM and starving foreground apps from the resources needed to run responsively.  This can eventually impact the operating system’s ability to avoid slowdowns and serve users’ needs, gradually worsening as multitasking continues. RAMJet™ automatically recovers trapped memory in real-time to help PCs stay focused and responsive.
  • AcceleWrite™ – Optimizes file organization on both solid state drives (SSD) and traditional hard disk drives (HDD). Working deep inside the Windows operating system, AcceleWrite™ improves the efficiency of how files are written to the drive. By minimizing the random writing of data, AcceleWrite increases overall system performance and largely reduces or eliminates the need to perform secondary file optimization (such as disk defragmentation), saving time and energy resources and helping to prolong a PC’s life.
