prevent high CPU overloads Process Tamer constantly monitors the CPU usage of other processes and temporarily changes the priority for any process that is overloading your system. This can be useful to prevent CPU intensive processes like video editing, conversions, burning etc. from slowing down your system to a crawl by consuming all available CPU. Process Tamer is fully automatic, it runs in the system tray and automatically springs into action when needed.

Not for vista? 4 stars by michael_axlin
I am using the Process Tamer since long and I am really happy with it! Unfortunately I can not get it running on Vista. showShow review details
Excellent piece of software 5 stars by DocRon (Read all my 6 reviews)
Bit of a fraggle having to renew freeware license every six months (or make a financial donation) but well worth the effort. If, like me, you download and view multiple video snips then you likely will find everything gradually (eventually) grinds to a halt or gets sooooo slow it takes forever for anything to happen. This program resolves that - even on Windows XP (which ain't supposed to have this problem). The configuration menu / interface may prove a bit daunting to anyone not computer literate but the program chugs along quite happily in its 'as supplied' mode - so no real worries there. Do I like it? Yes, very much and have no hesitation in highly recommending it. showShow review details
Surprised this isn't rated higher by others 4 stars by Sniffy (Read all my 3 reviews)
I'm one of those people who only has a 2.5 gig machine with 512 ram, who wants to work at ten things at once. I play a game while waiting for the dial up to open 3 or 4 pages on Ebay, or Google, while printing out my latest software code or typing a letter. You get the message; the computer can't run all that stuff and all the little background widgets without totally bogging down. Well I must admit I was sceptically about this one. Heh! it works like a charm. I can even play music while multitasking. Seems to be stable too. Must say it's interface is not for the weak at heart, but I admit I haven't read all the help stuff yet. Sure does what it's supposed to do on my xp machine. Little expensive for my tastes, (costs time to download freeware) but I'd do it again. showShow review details
