It works. It's not great though.
afaik it doesn't do anything to your computer as long as you don't get it from some shady russian site.
All it seems to do is end background tasks and defragment the game files. Nothing you can't do yourself.
So I voted no.
I guess i wont use it then
It works if you have installed a shitload of programs that are running in the background and you are too lazy to kill them all from the task manager.
Otherwise the difference won't be that big.
It's a convenience tool. I use it and yes, it works as it's intended to work (That is, freeing up RAM mostly). Plus it shuts down reboots all the programs you want with just one click and no issues.
And it's free.
I once used it, and my graphics card fried.
This graphics card was the ATI Radeon X1300. lol

This. Don't scaremonger him by telling it fried your card entirely due to your own fault.
It just automates what I do manually before opening most games anyway... So a "sorta" vote from me.
I don't get why people have stuff running in the background that they NEED to disable just to play their game. Why let this stuff run in the first place?
Other than Windows processes, I have my antivirus software and my UPS software running in the background. Perhaps CPUID so I can keep my eye on temperatures. Other people will most likely have other stuff in the background, but you shouldn't have anything there that's actually able to cripple your ability to play a game.

I turned it on, and it instantly turned off my monitor, when I booted again and started Half-Life 2 it looked like this.

By the way, the card was like 3 years old at the time.

There's a word. I think it's coincidence. Check it out sometime. :D
If you have a really shitty computer you might notice a difference. I mean [B]REALLY[/B] shitty.

Right when I turned the program on? I don't think so.
It worked quite well for my old laptop with 1gb of ram. I coudn't play 2142 without GameBooster, because i didn't have enough ram.

All it does is close programs and fuck with the page file. None of which would cause your GPU to suck harder.
People never heard about ctrl + alt + delete and turn of crap?
Or msconfig to clean up your shit to startup on your computer?

Alright now I'm getting confused, I'm not sure if it was called Gamebooster, it could've been some other program, with almost the same name.
if you dont know how to manage your processes then yes it will help and even more so if your cpu sucks

How about a tool that automates it. Like a click of a button and it quickly does all of that?
[B]Oh wait.[/B]
no

It only works for people who are too computer illiterate to understand how it works (and thus carry the actions out themselves).

Yeah it might be good for the guys that randomly download shit and got tons of poop running.
And got old shit computers.
It's only useful if you got less than 2 GB ram.
Other than that it's pretty much useless.
