CPU Speed Accelerator CommentaryConflict with Dreamweaver - Version: 4.4, 10/1/2009 07:48PM PST

Gruntfuttuck
I installed the speed accelerator and had problems with Dreamweaver not functioning properly and throwing up error dialog boxes everywhere.

I restarted and Dreamweaver was still not working. But when I removed speed accelerator it was back to normal again.

I could not detect any significant speed increase on my dual 2gig G4 running 10.4.11.

CPU Speed Accelerator CommentaryWhat's the price? - Version: 4.4, 6/28/2009 08:19AM PST

After clicking all over their web page for ten minutes, I could not find the price of this software. All I could find after starting the registration process, was a blurb that said the cost of all their software "starts at 15 Euros."

I'm not going to waste any more time playing games, and I'm not going to install any software for which I cannot determine the price. I have no idea what remnants this will leave behind after I uninstall it, so I'm not going to risk it.
