The Acer ePerformance Management main page allows you to Execute Express Optimization to
quickly optimize your system.
Click Show at the bottom of the page to display the advanced optimization options: Memory, Disk

Memory Optimization
Here, you can view your system’s current memory usage. You can also optimize the memory usage
by clicking Optimize.
Memory Usage Check
When using your computer, you can check to see if a memory upgrade is advised by clicking
Check. For the most accurate results, check memory usage when your computer is in a normal
working setting - checking just after bootup, for example, will not yield an accurate report.

computer.
1. Turbo Startup streamlines the startup process for faster booting.
2. Turbo Shutdown streamlines the shutdown process.
3. Performance Enhancement improves general performance.
4. Disk Defragmentation defragments the HDD while your computer is idle.
5. Network Booster improves network performance.
