TeraCopy is a compact program designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed, providing the user a lot of features:
  • Copy files faster. TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives.
  • Pause and resume file transfers. Pause copy process at any time to free up system resources and continue with a single click.
  • Error recovery. In case of copy error, TeraCopy will try several times and in the worse case just skips the file, not terminating the entire transfer.
  • Interactive file list. TeraCopy shows failed file transfers and lets you fix the problem and recopy only problem files.
  • Shell integration. TeraCopy can completely replace Explorer copy and move functions, allowing you work with files as usual.
  • Full Unicode support.
Copy your files faster with TeraCopy

Screen capture.
just guessing:
it's because
FRAPS is not free (30sec limit and single format for screenies unless you spend a little $$)

hwmonitor
(Temperature/Voltage monitor for all the components,works on all (my) motherboards)

32 or 64 bit versions:

CPUID

PerfMonitor
is a processor performance monitoring tool. It allows to track the frequency of 4 events choosen in a set of model-specific list.

CPUID


will add more later (Robbi didn't miss to many)

This program scans your PC and looks for drivers (for example if you don't know what driver to install for a particular hardware it will scan the hardware and automatically find it for you).

Of course, the program needs to have your permission to download the drivers, drivers come from the official sites (for instance; ATI drivers will be searched by the program on the official ATI site).

Very usefull program if you decide to install a fresh Windows :-)

Pirated ware is strictly forbidden I suppose so don't bother Me asking for the link for the link

if fraps is not on here because it's a trial then this list needs to be updated. I tried Debut Video today and that program is limited to 15fps and requires a purchase. It also sucks, fubar'd my audio, then removed all my drivers when I went to uninstall and didn't even uninstall the program, I had to do it manually. Can anyone suggest, software besides fraps and debut for 3d game capture. fraps dev responded to me but didnt awnser my question about audio not working.

The thread will be removed in the future and replaced with a new one as part of the restructure process going on in the support forums.
Regarding fraps, take a look at your other thread.

Not sure if malicious software removal tools are allowed on this list, but if they are I nominate Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. Currently has almost 82 and a half million downloads, is very simple to use, and often finds things that paid for Internet Security software often miss.
