Today we decided to check different registry booster and system optimizer in a small comparative . As it is known , The Windows registry is a directory which stores settings and options for the operating system for Microsoft Windows 32-bit versions, 64-bit versions and Windows Mobile. It contains information and settings for all the hardware, operating system software, most non-operating system software, users, preferences of the PC, etc. Whenever a user makes changes to Control Panel settings, file associations, system policies, or most installed software, the changes are reflected and stored in the registry. The registry also provides a window into the operation of the kernel, exposing run-time information such as performance counters and currently active hardware.

In other words, the registry is the windows Database witch include all software and hardware setting , So most programs are splitted in two parts the first is the software itself while the second include the registry key\'s . Since most hardware and software setting are stored there the right setting will result in better optimization for different software and hardware programs .

After some use The windows registry is flooded with invalid key (temp registry , invalid entry ...) , and here come the registry cleaner witch scan , detect and eliminate invalid keys . Cleaner registry will result in better windows performance , due to the compact size (witch reduce the scan time ) , less over head entry ... and more disk space :-) .

Here is the list of windows registry scanner to be tested today :

Here is the software main windows :

Registry\'s software comparison :

Now we come to the interesting part , we will test the performance of all those listed software . Here is the list of tests :

A ) Software reliability :

1) The number of detected invalid keys .

2) Scan Time.

B ) Software performance :

2) memory usage .

In addition, we will check the system performance before and after Speedupmypc optimization .

How we tested :

We used a 3 month old windows (XP sp2 ) with different software installed (Copy from Ghost Image : Disk back up software) , then we installed all the listed above software one by one (each time a clean install (through the Ghost copy) was applied ).

The System Used :

Processor : Intel E8500 45nm @ 4 GHz (500x8) .

Motherboard : Asus P5K Deluxe

Memory : Geil 8500 @ 500 MHz (4-4-4-12)

HDD : 2 X 320 GB raid 0 Disks.

VGA : 8800 GT\'

The number of detected invalid keys :

This is currently the most important test since the Higher = Better .

Deep and folder scanning was disabled in all cleaners since some do not support this future .

Eusing Free registry cleaner is leader here followed by NTcom3 , The second range include Registry mechanic , Registrybooster and Cleanmy PC , Microsoft TrgClean just fail in this test .

The memory Usage :

The memory Usage :

Registrybooster 2 Lead this test , in the same memory usage level we found also most other cleaner except Microsoft TreegClean and NTCOm3 PC .

CPU Time :

CPU Time :

Here Microsoft TragClean was the fastest (but simultaneously the weakest software) , The same range include most other cleaner excluding Ensing free registry and NTcom3 .

Based on the Three test Above here is our registry cleaner ranking list :

RegistryBooster 2 and CleanMyPC == Gold Software\'s .

As promised we will check the impact of SpeedUpMyPc (3.5.24) in the system performance . First we will run some test without optimization then we run the software and compare the obtained result .

In this case we were limited to 3D 2001 (rather old benchmark), since it is one of the best software to check the overall system performance (memory , CPU , disk and cache system).

No optimization :

With optimization :

Here is the detailed results :

3d2001 result

3d2001 result detailled

A nice improvement , almost 1000 additional point after single mouse click without any additional hardware update . In other words, a fresh window copy install in about 2 min (software required time to apply all optimization).

Note this software include also many other futures like Internet optimisation and privacy security , Furthermore there are five very useful monitor :

Memory monitor :

Just what most user\'s require , This software part monitor the memory usage in a real time mode with the ability to free or recovery the ram .

CPU Monitor :

A nice Graph witch shows the CPU usage in real time , The application booster allow to change the priority of application in order to allocate / limit the CPU resource for each application .

Disk Monitor :

A unique HDD disk monitor easy to understand , ALL data are shown in real time mode :-) .

Internet Monitor :

A nice tool to monitor your Internet connection usage , there is a possibility to optimize your connection under many types .

Moreover : start up manager , uninstall manager , file shredder .....

For all those good reason we decided to Give SpeedUpMyPc a Gold reward .
