The utility suite requires at least a Pentium 120MHz processor Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000, or XP 128MB of RAM and 61MB of hard disk space. If you already have an earlier version of the product, you can get the complete 4.0 product as an upgrade ($39.95), buy it new for $69.95, or try a separate 30-day shareware version. System Mechanic 4.0 Professional installs from either a 34MB download or a disc and requires an additional 20-character activation code. System Mechanic 4.0 Professional is a worthy challenger and offers advanced PC users a lot more value. In short, Norton SystemWorks had better not rest on its laurels. SM4P also offers superior, free product help and excellent online tool tutorials, something Norton does not.
In general, we found the System Mechanic 4.0 Professional tools to be more useful than those of Norton SystemWorks 2004 Professional. Each covers a lot of the same territory, but they also offer their own specialties. Both utilities suites are Swiss Army Knife packages designed to perform a variety of important functions on your Windows-based computer.
Iolo's System Mechanic 4.0 Professional (SM4P) provides real competition for Symantec's venerable Norton SystemWorks Professional.
