Acer ePerformance Management Main Page

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 and Speed.

Memory Optimization

3.Performance Enhancement improves general performance.
