Review summary |
System Mechanic 6 Professional offers the best package of utilities for optimizing and protecting your hard drive, but the software's lack of documentation makes it poorly suited for the average computer user.
|
Don't think twice about getting SystemWorks if you're migrating to Windows XP, but if you already have 2001, pass on 2002.
|
This well-designed system utility suite is the perfect catchall if you're looking for a staggering number of features at a low price.
|
Even Macs need a little TLC now and then, and TechTool's reputation combined with mobile convenience makes this a great utility to have on hand.
