Priority Master 2008 Testimonials:
Ive been using it for 3 years and it sure speeds up the cd burns and it works GREAT. R. Weitzel
I
have had a chance to play a bit and thought one observation might be useful for others.
All I wanted was control of specific programs so I turned off DEFENDER modes and
began adding .EXEs to selected LISTs. Virus file scanner to IDLE, Macro interpreter to
High...etc. Even with PM using only 1% or 2% of CPU cycles some programs exhibited
undesirable effects. The programs with problems were mostly legacy graphics software (XP
COMMAND window stuff) and timing dependent programs which were not truly integrated with
windows.
Priority Master 2007 Testimonials: Testimonials on 10/1/07 Hi Ted,
Testimonials on 6/10/07 Hi Ted,
Testimonials on 5/22/07 I've been using Priority Master since the OS/2
v2.1 days, and when one became available for the Windows platform, I began using it there
too. For such a small price you get a much more responsive machine. The automatic
Full-Time Defender mode is great and I would not think of burning DVD's or watching movies
without Priority Master.
Testimonials on 2/24/07 Dear Priority Master Support, today I have bought your latest version - 2007 V7 - of your fantastic program. I 'am your customer since the 2004 version. From the 2006 version I appreciate the automatic full time defender option and now I am very impressed form the possibility to manage the tasks with a right click on a single program of the list, set permanently the desired priority etc, etc: congratulations ! it's very beautiful also the design and the new "skin". Luca V.
Testimonials on 2/13/07 Subject: It works for me "Are you get sick of buying a new machine
every 1 to 3 years? I say that you current machine is 4 to 20 times faster than what you
need. I say that Priority Master 2008 in default install will give you more power to run
all of the background programs you want to run and STILL have fast overall system
responses.
Testimonials on 2/5/07 (Asked if it worked in Vista) Hello Ted.. for the most part yes, it installed
fine and ran fine.. but when I went to exit out of the program, I did receive some errors
about some .dll files.. however, I fixed this by right clicking on the Priority Master
icon and selecting properties, then the "Compatibility" tab, and then selecting
the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and I then
selected "Windows XP SP2" .. and now it runs perfectly.. so whatever the issue
was before, it's fixed by doing that.. and I'm sure it would be just a minor adjustment to
make it Vista compatible.
Testimonials on 2/5/07 I just installed the new version today and took
a closer look to all its features. It really is much better than the 2006 version.
Especially I like that you have now more different priorities to chose (e.g. above normal
was missing in the old version, next higher step from normal was High).
Testimonials on 2/4/07 After installing Priority Master 2007 on my computer the change in speed and performance was quite apparent. This change was most noticeable in two areas. A significant improvement of Internet capabilities and the time required to make CD's and DVD's. All web pages load substantially faster. This was amazing considering I'm using a dial up connection. Making CD's and DVD's is more time consuming than I particularly like. The time saving improvements of Priority Master is a huge asset and greatly appreciated. I have installed Priority Master on all my computers. In closing I must say, "I'm amazed that this operating system doesn't come pre-installed on all PCs." Keep up the good work! B.W.

Testimonials on 3/30/06 Hi, thank you thank you thank you so very very much :) Great software and superb support !!! I'm going to spread the word as much as possible :) I wish you great success for the future. Greets, Maxwell Star
Testimonials on 3/29/06 Thanks for the free upgrade to Priority Master 2006. l have looked at some of the posts on the forums, my opinion is that there will always be some idiot that will try to discredit someone elses hard work. All I can say is, I do not let people like this get to me, because I know it works. Thanks again, Stanley Lumley
Testimonials on 3/19/06 I'm a PC gamer and have always knew about the
benefits of using higher priorities.. I used to use programs like "WinLauncher
XP" for setting priorities in my games to "high" or "above
normal" .. WinLauncher was buggy sometimes though and the author never finished, it
stayed @ the beta stage. Then I was searching the web and ran across your program, at the
time you didn't have a demo available and I emailed you about having a "trial
version" available.. a couple of weeks later I saw one and tried it.. and I feel in
love with Priority Master. I do recommend it to people in Forums to use for gaming
applications.. it really helps my games run smoother.. and now that you sell it for $6.95
that should go over well with them, since alot of them are young kids that don't have
jobs.

option.
Testimonial on 1/09/06:
Priority Master 2005 Testimonials: Testimonial on 8/21/05: "I use priority master 2005 , latest version, with digital video archive, and streaming video with VLAN. The results are that the video works, streaming over a wireless connection with your software setting both programs' priority as high. But when I actually exit the program, or don't use it at all, and manually set both programs to a high priority, it works perfectly without the choppiness. So for me, your program is a good concept but in practice it is of no use/value because of the choppiness and my ability to set the priority of both prgs manually to high and seeing them both work perfectly."Support responded: You seem to indicate that the overhead associated with running the Priority Master 2005 interferes with the normal operations of the two programs. Doubtful, but possible if the machine is just barely able to do the job and about 3% additional overhead causes the frames to miss. Try using the "M" on the toolbar and uncheck the "Show Invisible Windows" box. That will reduce the priority scans to only the programs on the Task List. What I meant to say was the dvarchive prg and vlan prg work well when the priorities are set to high and my goal was not to have to set the priorities each and every time at bootup. I wanted your prg to do this for me. Manually set, the prgs work well (stream video perfectly wirelessly) and with your product the priorities were set high but the video was choppy. My thought was I could not use the prg. However, thank you for your suggestion to uncheck the box because NOW EVERYTHING IS JUST PEACHY. The video streams perfectly. The program is setting the priorities to high. Thank you thank you thank you. Damian Kodges
Testimonial on 7/16/05: It's a done deal pal, your program is bloody marvelous and I'm just about to pay and register. Many thanks for putting in all the hard work that it must have taken. If you want or need a review writing for adding to your site then please feel free to give me a shout as I'd be more than happy to provide one. Best wishes and regards, Steve Coyne
Testimonial on 5/7/05: Ive been using PM 5.0 for a little
while now and love it. Just a quick question
how do I get my hands on the latest
version 5.01?
Spectacular testimonial on 4/23/05 Price/performance wise Priority Master 2005 is a great product. A very stable program that works as advertised. Given some understanding of the processes running on an Windows XP PC, an appropriate priority 'profile' can be established for the set of running processes, that will be automatically applied by Priority Master as the PC boots. Once the CPU gets busy and is doing significant work, the OS scheduler can utilize the set priorities to more intelligently schedule processes to be run. The net affect is the machine that is considerable more responsive then it would be otherwise. After several months of using Priority master, as far as I am concerned whether or not to use PM is a no brainer, its a must have utility. Mark Ganter
Spectacular testimonial on 4/18/05 I've tried several different apps that say
they will do what this app does. None worked to my satisfaction. This tool does it all and
does it very well. Excellent performance matched by a very nice, well though out user
interface! I recommend this highly!
Spectacular testimonial on 4/14/05 Hi Ted,
Priority Master 2004 Testimonials: Thank you so much for coming up with this great program. The day before I purchased the program, much of it was wasted on trying to get a DVD burned using professional DVD burning software. Hours later and many ruined DVD s later, I found this program. After installing and with a few simple steps, the DVD burned the first time! As an audio-visual professional, time is money. There is no doubt that this program will actually make me money in the productivity and materials aspects of my business. Thanks Again! Victor Bruce
Added it (Goldmine) to the CD/DVD Burner list and it keeps it at RealTime 24 now(note: this is the MAX-PROTECT Package made for CD/DVD burning, but works with any program). Works great. This a great program, I ran a benchmark on Goldmine using it, 35% increase in record scans! That's awesome considering running dBase with over a dozen different databases with some over 100k records. The big test will be when I run maintenance tonight using it. That always requires a lot out of this machine but I think it will handle it a lot better now. Thanks for the awesome program! This program is great, if everyone knew how well it works I'm sure they would spend the $11 on it. It will save me more then that in less then an hour! Just wanted to drop you a line on this program since I have had more time to run it. This program has been flawless. It's amazing how this thing runs now. The foreground boost is awesome and I'm really impressed at how much better Goldmine runs since I set it at a priority of 24. The system has been very stable and fast. Thank you again! Tom Hill, OK 2/29/04 Tom Hill, OK
OK. A person running 4 DOS programs on a P4 2.4 GHz said that the machine was toasted. One copy of the program used 80% of the CPU and 4 of them running rendered the machine unusable. By adding the name of the executable into the Idle list, all programs were instantly set to idle. The Foreground Boost (which is the default) made the one copy being worked on very responsive. Customer did not send in a testimonial, so I am including it here. Ted Waldron III
Can't wait to get v4 running -- v3 was the best 20 buck "upgrade" I've spent on my Celeron 1200 system. John Charlesworth It seems to be working very well, and the ability to use foreground boost again is
awesome (by excluding some of the pigs....). Definitely using 4.0 -
Priority Master III My main concern with prioritizing is that I do a lot of video stuff and netnews
downloading, but do other things in the foreground. Using Priority Master III, I find I
usually get a smoother work flow. Both from Michael Quinn
Priority Master really does deliverDivx
encoding was really making my Pentium4 crawl, and Windows wouldnt let me lower the
process priority. This was taken from the FREE Demo on download.com:
Before installing PM3 I could burn CD's at 16X,
usually, if I was careful about what else was running. I just finished burning one at 24X
while Using Norton to scan my system, AND running a "system tools" defrag on
Windows XP. PM3 is something else. I'm
impressed. I was hoping for a performance improvement during a virus check - and Priority
Master delivered. The very pleasant surprise was all the other normal situations with a
radical improvement. A hot sync and back-up of my PDA and it's memory stick took over 3
minutes before I had Priority Master - now it's less than 30 seconds! I can't believe people won't tell you tell you how wonderful this product is! Home PC builders, unlike ""name"" companies, don't have the luxury of matching/patching components in their system with proprietary modifications. My case: I just built a ""better"" WinXp system to replace a 4 year old Win98 popular store-bought box. Faster, better parts, more of everything BUT DVD's stuttered no matter what I did (short of manually changing the process priority EACH time I used a DVD player!!) YOURS is the ONLY product a sane person would want to use, if just for this problem alone; with Priority Master running I'm watching movies AND on-line AND running 10 other programs... the film is smooth-as-glass. So I can only imagine what other great uses I'll put this to: CD-Burning, of course, but I'm sure I'll find more. And for that I've a suggestion: you need a ""User Forum"" so ideas/hints can be passed about and from which you can get for ideas for your next version. Steve Arnold I'm not a programming whiz but PMIII makes everything on my computer work faster. The amazing part is that it works better than Windows XP's generic prioritizing and my system seems more stable. John Whitty I love running many tasks in the background on my system such as fax receiving, anti virus protection, messenger, diagnostic software, etc. It used to take at least 2 full minutes to individually confirm and close all my tasks before I could even attempt to try and burn a CD on my old 4X CDR (without burn-proof technology). Now with Priority Master III I do not need to close any of my programs or background tasks and I was even was playing a networked 3D game the other night while I was successfully burning CD's in the background. Excellent software guys, it's what I have been waiting for! Thank you. Warren Seedsman I've just been checking PM out with 3D games. 3D games are the rage
nowadays but unless the processor can give maximum resources to these games then many
problems can arise. David Narbutas Earlier this afternoon I purchased and installed Priority Master on my PC. I am absolutely STUNNED by the increases in speed and stability! I literally feel as if someone's given me a brand new computer.I run Windows XP Pro on a 1900 Athlon with 1 GB DDR Memory...so I never dreamed I'd have problems. But up until today, that's exactly what I've had! Some of the applications I run are serious resource HOGS! I was getting lock-ups, frozen apps and major S L O W downs every time I ran them. I say "was" because since installing Priority Master, my applications are simply flying -- and they're STABLE to! The difference has been night vs. day. In fact, I can even run these "hogs" simultaneously now - amazing. Priority Master is a steal at this price -- but don't buy it unless you're prepared to see your computer go into HYPERDRIVE! M. Wieser PS Great product, my 400Mhz machine runs great, I thought about upgrading it because I was getting used to my 1.2Ghz machine, but I see no reason now thanks to your Priority Master III program! M. Pirlot Please note: Mr Karenko has 125 programs on the Task Bar. And the system tray icon was modified to change colors based on the Class Analysis as per his suggestion. The benefit of PM3 is twofold. First, your foreground option lets the program you are currently using (I.E. the one that has your attention) run temporarily at a higher system priority. Second, your automatic settings upon startup, let me identify which tools/programs I use frequently or infrequently and lets me decide which ones should get more or less cycles. What is described above is the ultimate. PM3 starts, adjusts or runs programs in its list BUT it now picks up any new tasks started and adjusts them automatically. Your algorithms for managing the CPU cycles overrides Redmond's politically correct solution. Yes, users could dig themselves into a hole by mis-managing priorities and overloading one or the other. You already use colors to help identify this. Make your system tray icon change colors too. Visually, you're then telling me via the icon that I'm getting myself into trouble or if everything is cool. T. Karenko Hi. I evaluate all kinds of software on multiple
platforms on my web site at http://www.macarlo.com. Priority Master III got the highest
rating of 5 butterflies. While evaluating WAPT 2.0, a program from Novosoft, Priority
Master III automatically prioritized it as "High 13" and the program simply runs
great. I wrote about this improvement in my review on WAPT 2.0 and in other reviews that
I'm are publishing here (all of them are invoked in the main-pages of my website). Been using PM 3.3.3 for a few weeks now, since you
resent it to me. Thought I would let you know it looks REALLY good. I use it in the
Automatic mode and it seems to grab my programs as they launch and change their
priorities without upsetting them. M. Palmer
