Data2Quick has been independently tested and retested many times and the results are always the same. You will get %20 to %30 improvement in disk performance. Below are some test results that are representative of what you will get when you add Data2Quick to your Windows 95 or Windows 98 system.

Most people can understand and appreciate the results of the above tests, but what does this all mean to the average customer? We decided to conduct some tests of our own, tests that have real meaning to the average computer user.
APPLICATION LOADING
The following tests were designed with the average customer in mind. The tests are simple and reproducible by anyone.
System Monitor (a standard Windows 95 & 98 accessory) was used to calculate the elapsed time and the bytes read from the disk.. By logging the amount of bytes read and logging these bytes every 1/2 second, it was possible, when put into a spreadsheet chart, to see when a program starts to load and when it finishes by noting the lack of disk activity (bytes read).*
We loaded the programs three times with and without Data2Quick rebooting between tests. We then used the results of the middle test. (not the fastest and not the slowest although in most cases they were alike) The tests were run on a Dell Dimensions 350 (350 MHz PII) with 128 Mb of RAM
*The program was deemed to have been loaded when we observed 1.5 seconds of consecutive zero bytes read.
We have put the first 2 of 8 charts on this page to view the others just click on the one you want.
