Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008, Windows 2000/2003/2008/Home Server/Vista/XP / Shareware; $14.95 / 33,357 downloads

Process Lasso improves system performance, responsiveness, and stability during high loads through dynamic adjustments to process priority classes. It can also automatically terminate undesired processes, apply default priorities and CPU affinities to processes, limit the number of instances a process can have, and log all processes. It is not a task manager replacement, but does have task manager like capabilities to compliment its primary functions.

Process Lasso is free for home and academic use, though there are some tolerable nags for the Pro build shown after the product has been installed an extended period. The free build is not in any way crippled. Commercial use requires purchase within 14 days of evaluation. Despite being free for home use, it is now classified as Shareware to prevent any user confusion or complaints.

    Does it work? This is the question people ask me. The answer is :
    Yes
    I have an old system here, I provide it with 3 helps:
    For Web : cFosSpeed
    For RAM : Cleanmem
    For CPU : Process Lasso
    Overall is obvious.

    This is a great version. Process Lasso is like computer crack--once you install it, you need it.

    Plus:-
    *There is a Game option build-in so that maximal use to play a game is possible caus this ask all of the cpu in most cases then that cannot be lowered as Process Lasso usualy does.
    *It takes care of the cpu available on the pc so that even if you are converting/ripping a dvd and the cpu goes to a 100% you can still use other programs (Probalance Enabled)

    Minus:-
    Starts up with window in Windows, a bit annoying.
    Gives a nag nag screen when not registred to Pro.

    Very recommended, I use 2400 mhz and 2GB RAM on XP and can work now on the pc when heavy progz doiing their job what without Process Lasso wouldnt be possible.

    If your suspicions get your panties in THAT much of a twist, DKDude, then why don't you just ask the Betanews admins to compare the IP addresses of all these user names? I have nothing to hide you ratbag.

    Oh, I know... They won't find anything, and then you'll just say I'm using Tor or some ridiculous thing. Whatever.

    Like I said in another comment: Seek therapy.

    Better than the stupid TASK MANAGER , half the time it never loads up and when you need it the most you carn't end any taks, why this app comes into play, you can end tasks you don't need running.

    virtual memory trim' is very good at freeing memory, i wish there was a button that i could press so it would be easy then going into options.

    I don't no about all the settings very teck, so i just install app and leave it..

    For adding a free memory button, i would give a 5.

    Basically, Process Lasso is a VERY VERY light weighted software. I have tried several other similar softwares, but they really cannot achieve what Process Lasso can achieve. Basically, Foreground Process Thread Priority Boost is unique, and cannot be found in other similar type of softwares. One software called "Process Priority Master" which claims itself to be the best, I have tried it myself but it's nothing but just a bloatware, a real example of bloatware. It takes like 30%+ CPU in the background all the time !!! Jeremy never claims his softwares are the best, because Jeremy has a good and professional attitude, which we all should learn from him. I can tell, no other similar softwares up to the current date, performs better than Process Lasso.

    This software is NOT crippleware. 99% of the features in the Pro build are also in the free build. If you take the time to look, you will see this is true.

    This program is crippleware. I would rather use a lesser program than a crippled program.

    to your post us3r:
    you rated the software with two and speak as if you never tried the software for yourself - talking only about that the price is too high for you to effort and not even mention a free alternative (cause there is no). I really wonder what those commends should cause, why and for what ?

    This program doesn't offer much more than similar tools which are completely free, yet author want almost 20$ for a copy whether you are commercial user or home user or student. The life time license doesn't speak to me since I remember the development of these application stopped like for two years around version 2.0.
