Foster-Melliar to offer Raxco Software`s PerfectDisk Version 7 update for Windows x64

Johannesburg, 21 Feb 2006

Raxco Software`s newest defragmentation software, PerfectDisk@7.0 Build 46 - an updated version of its award-winning defragmentation software - is now available in SA from Foster-Melliar.

The new capability lets customers working on the x64-based versions of Windows to defragment even larger drives more quickly, enable applications to launch faster, and access files more quickly.

The latest update to Raxco`s award-winning software sets PerfectDisk apart from other competitors whose current versions do not support x64-based Windows systems. When customers download the newest PerfectDisk, the installation program automatically determines whether the customer is running 32-bit or x64-based Windows and installs the software accordingly.

"PerfectDisk`s latest improvements come at a time when customers demand larger hard disks to run multiple applications and access numerous files, such as spreadsheets, presentations and budget data," says Gavin Forman of Foster-Melliar. "As customers use increasingly powerful systems like the x64-based Windows platform, more advanced defragmentation technology is needed to maximise the performance and increase the lifespan of their PCs."

Already the fastest and most complete defragmentation tool available, PerfectDisk 7.0 utilises a unique peer-to-peer architecture to allow enterprise management, including deployment, scheduling, and reporting, from any system. PerfectDisk Live (http://www.raxco.comlproducts/perfectdisklive), launched in July, has quickly gained a following among users seeking automatic updates without storing and maintaining hard copies of the software.

PerfectDisk has long been the defragmenter with more Microsoft certifications than any other defragmenter on the market and has achieved the highest standards in excellence. PerfectDisk 7.0 was the first defragmenter certified by Microsoft, with independent testing from VeriTest, the testing division of Lionbridge, for Windows Server TN 2003 and Windows 2000 Server.
