  2. Disk Title: PC-Zipper

  10. Why not speed up your computer?  PC-ZIPPER is software that will do     
  11. exactly that without sacrificing performance.  The speed of a PC, XT, AT
  12. or even a 386 (and their clones) is rather arbitrarily determined by the
  13. manufacturer.  In actuality, if all the memory in your computer is sound
  14. there is no reason why you can't be running a little faster.  And who   
  15. doesn't want to run a little faster?                                    
  16.                                                                         
  17. Ziptest is the first of two programs that come with PC-ZIPPER.  This    
  18. utility calls procedures, executes a routine, times it, and then        
  19. records the results.  Upon completion, Ziptest checks to find which     
  20. procedure resulted in an increase in processor speed.  The results      
  21. create a curve which the optimum system performance is at the "crest"   
  22. of the curve. Zip the main program, can then be set to maximize the     
  23. speed of your computer                                                  
  24.                                                                         
  25. If you didn't understand all that then just believe it works.           
  26. PC-ZIPPER increased the speed of this reviewer's AT by nearly one full  
  27. MHz according to Landmarks Speed test (note that no speed testing       
  28. software is included with PC-ZIPPER).  You don't have to understand it  
  29. to use it--it's easy to install and control even for the beginner.      
  30. PC-ZIPPER will check for weak or faulty memory, it can be turned off    
  31. without rebooting, and it can even be used to slow your computer        
  32. slightly.  And, best of all, it uses NO memory.
