Diskeeper
Lite (Win NT)
Advances in Diskeeper 6.0 allow it to defragment a drive 100 to 500
percent faster than other defragmenters, including the manual utility
built into Windows 2000. Despite the increase in speed, Diskeeper
6.0 only uses about one third of the memory and one fifth of the CPU
resources when compared to other defragmenters. As a result, system
disks can be returned to peak performance much more rapidly, even
during the busiest periods of the day.
Below
you can install the fully funtional Lite version for
Windows NT, or the trial version 6 for 2000 or Windows 9x/Me.
