Well, I got a coupon to get this program for free when I bought 2 GB of Ram. After doing some surfing for some reviews about the program (all seemed to be really bad), I decided against getting the program.
System Mechanic is one of the better tune-up utilities available, and at $9.95 it's a good deal. At its regular price of $49.95, though, it's way overpriced. The reason is that everything it offers to do can be done using what's provided with Windows and one or two free third-party programs in about 5 minutes. However, I'd say it's worth $10 to have everything 'under one roof.' The final decision is, of course, up to you.
Hope this helps,
John
