TweakAll
 

 

 TweakAll is a small program that allows you to take control over your Windows operating system.

Fed-up of that loading screen? Then change it (or get rid of it all together!). Excessive disk access? TweakAll can help you with that as well. Want to restrict what users of your computer can do? Not a problem.

Set-up Windows the way YOU want it, not how Microsoft think you should have it.

TweakAll lets you change many aspects of Windows including (but not limited to) :

  • Startup and Shutdown Logos. With support for TWAIN compliant scanners - simply scan a new logo straight in!
  • Support for 3dfx Voodoo 1, 2, 3 and Banshee video cards. You can change various image quality settings and also overclock your card for more performance.
  • Tighten up the security on your system on a per user basis.
  • Gain control over Windows hard drive and CD-ROM caches. With a little bit of tweaking you can dramatically improve the performance of your system.
  • Speed up your internet connection.
  • And too much more to mention here!
  • And best of all, it's completely FREE! No adverts, no nags, no time limits and no 'pro' versions you have to pay for. And it will always remain this way.

RegCleaner 
 

 

 RegCleaner is an easy to use program. With RegCleaner you can easily get rid of those old and obsolete registry entries created by software that you have destroyed ages ago. And by easily, I mean easily! You don´t have to be any expert to use this program. Note that this program is not like those other so called registry cleaners, they search any filenames from registry, then if the file doesn´t exists anymore they remove the registry key or value where this filename was. But RegCleaner shows you the list of software that are registered in the registry and by checking checkboxes you select which software you don´t have anymore and RegCleaner removes all registry created by those programs automatically.

3DMark2000
3DMark2000 is the latest installment in the popular 3DMark series. Combining DirectX 7.0 support with completely new graphics, it continues to provide benchmark results designed to empower you to make informed upgrade decisions by delivering the game content of tomorrow--today (see screen shots).

3DMark2000 has been created in cooperation with major 3D accelerator and processor manufacturers to provide you with the best possible and most reliable set of diagnostic tools. Also included is a completely new demo mode, which demonstrates some of the latest innovations and advances that real-time 3D graphics can now offer.

3DMark2000 is a full version download. However, Pro users may wish to purchase the upgrade for $29.99 to receive the Pro version, which offers additional features. These features include flexible testing automation options, including batch run; command-line support; and a professional result browser tool with full Windows compatibility.

Note that this is an update and not a "Max" release. Any changes that were made are visually transparent, so don't expect a new demo or added tests. Nonetheless, this release addresses compatibility issues with Windows2000 and correctly detects newer processors like the Intel Celeron with SSE and the AMD Duron.

Amn Refrigerator
 

 

 Amn Refrigerator is a small free utility intended for software cooling of the CPU during idle times of the operating system Microsoft® Windows 9x.

Halt of the central processor unit results in the reduction of capacity, consumed by the processor, that in turn results in reduction of heat, the probability of failure because of overheating, and prolongation to service life of the processor.

Besides service life, the storage life of batteries in Notebook computers can increase.

In the minimal configuration, Amn Refrigerator, requires less than 2Kb of RAM. There is a monitor displaying of usage of the CPU in the System Tray and providing access to extended statistics. There is also possibility of compulsory CPU halt on pressing a Pause key
