Power, Performance, Protection. ParetoLogic products put you in control of your PC's performance and security.
When it comes to PC's, people typically think of 3 things: power, performance, and protection. In order to get the best performance out of your PC and the most security protection possible, you need to be able to tweak settings depending on what's appropriate for a given task.
There are many products out there that can help with these three aspects of your machine. ParetoLogic is one company known for providing top-notch products that help you do this without any hassle or complexity.

These days, there are many different vendors offering different modules that will work to maximize the performance of your PC. You know those things look like the CPU, RAM, video card, and so forth? Some companies specialize in only one of those things. ParetoLogic has a module to help with all three aspects of your machine: power (CPU), performance (RAM), and protection (virus/spyware protection). The core of the Power Parenth module is a custom-designed Power Module that monitors and manages how much processor power is being used by certain applications. If you are looking to run a lighter program or browser, there is a button on the front of the module that will reduce processor usage. It works by monitoring what is running and dimming the PWM (on/off control signal) that tells your processor how much power it should be using. The Power Parenth automatically detects and monitors CPU usage over time, so the settings work in real time as you use your PC. You can use one or more PCs with the Power Parenth module mounted in them by simply using one Power Module for each machine. The Core Ram Parenth module lets you monitor and manage RAM usage on both notebook and desktop PCs. In order to use the Core Ram Parenth with a notebook PC, you will need an internal card module.
The most important aspect of using the Core Ram Parenth with notebook PCs is that it will let your battery last longer when on the go. The module dims your PC's display and slows other processes down in order to save energy. This is especially beneficial for people who are always on the move or who often use their notebooks for presentations or video playback (and sometimes both). The Core Ram Parenth also includes a unique Freeze feature that lets you select certain programs to be frozen in memory after exiting them. When the PC is powered off, the selected programs are saved to RAM and will be available the next time you boot the PC. The only requirements for installing these modules are a free PCI slot (most new motherboards have at least one), an available 3.3V PCI slot, 2 SIMM slots (for replacing defective or bad RAM), and a free I/O port.
Although these modules will work on PCs with or without a hard drive, they do offer some benefits when used with hard drives. The Power Parenth module will monitor your hard drive activity automatically so you can eliminate areas of disk activity that are preventing your computer from running faster. You may have also noticed that some programs keep running in the background even after you close them. Power Parenth will detect and handle this as well.
As for performance, the Core Ram Parenth module works well when used with a desktop PC. The module can control your CPU fan speed to allow more consistent cooling depending on gaming, processor intensive, or parallel processing work. You can even adjust the core temperature of your CPU so that it operates at it's best level at all times. The Core Ram Parenth provides several different settings to help control and manage how much RAM is used on the computer: select from default, free performance options or set custom specifications for each operating system you use.
In terms of virus/spyware protection, the Core Parenth module will automatically activate your anti-virus software when the computer is powered on. The module also has a unique AutoUpdate feature that will detect and erase files that have been marked as infected by programs like Norton, McAfee and Kaspersky. You can also manually select which programs should be automatically updated. The Core Parenth works with a wide variety of anti-virus programs and works with Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP and Vista.
The Power Parenth module is available in black and silver for both notebook and desktop computers and can be easily upgraded to work with new motherboards or added to an existing PC. The Core Ram Parenth module is available in black only for notebooks and comes with an internal battery that will enable you to use it on the go. Hardware requirements are minimal; a 3.3V PCI slot, two SIMM slots, a free I/O port, and four DIP switches (to adjust settings).
The Power Parenth module is available for $69.99 USD (includes US ground shipping and one year warranty). The Core Ram Parenth module is available in black for $49.99 USD and silver for $59.99 USD (both include US ground shipping and one year warranty). The Core Ram Parenth module is also available in black with an internal battery for $69.99 USD (includes US ground shipping and one year warranty). It's important to note that even though the modules look the same, they are not interchangeable by design. There are versions designed specifically for notebook PCs, desktop PCs and monitors, printers, LCD monitors, PDAs, mobile phones/smart phones, portables media players/portable DVD players/MP3 players, camcorders/digital cameras and game consoles (PlayStation 2 & 3).

Conclusion
There are a lot of different performance enhancing/monitoring tools on the market, but very few offer the same level of power and control as the Power Parenth and Core Ram Parenth modules from Pareto Logic. These modules are easy to use, can be installed and adjusted in real time, and provide you with enough information to make intelligent decisions about how your PC is being used. The Power Parenth module can also help extend the life of your PC by automatically adjusting to fluctuations in CPU usage and dimming your display when it's not in use.
The only criticism I have of these modules is that they lack detailed technical specifications (in terms of processor speed / brand, RAM speed / brand, etc).
