- CPU Speedometer
- License: Shareware
- Price:


The name CPUspeed stands for CPU Speedometer. CPUspeed finds out at what speed your CPU's really running internally. If you are overclocking your PC, CPUspeed allows you to check what's really going on.
CPUspeed shows an average and an instant CPU value. The average is likely to settle down pretty quickly, while the instant value will always fluctuate a little, that's normal. For those of you who own a laptop with CPU power saving features turned on, the instant value may go down when the machine is idle.
To do the CPU speed calculations, I use the time stamp counter (a counter inside the CPU which runs at the internal CPU speed) divided by a timer reference. That should be quite accurate on most PCs - but no guaranty.

- CPUload
- License: Shareware
- Price:


The CPUload application was designed to be a small tool that shows your CPU usage history. Try it while playing an MP3, burning a CD or browsing the web, you'll be surprised to see how much CPU is actually used.
How CPUload works? it creates a Win32 idle priority thread, and checks how much time the CPU spends into the thread. Windows gives CPU cycles to this idle thread when no other application has anything to do. That can happen for example if other applications are waiting for a keyboard entry, a mouse click, or the hard drive to access some data.
So this thread will eat up all your computer leftover CPU power (which is wasted anyway if CPUload is not running). Once CPUload knows how much time was spent in the idle thread, it can figure how much time the CPU was actually used for useful stuff.
- PatternMon

- Price:


The PatternMon name stands for Pattern Generator. PatternMon was designed to be a small utility to tune-up your 'X/Y-moire' monitor settings.
Ok, let's suppose you just bought a great new 19" monitor. It's very likely that it'll have 'moire' setting controls, but you have no clue what they are for.
So here's how you can use them to get a better picture. Use 'PatterMon' to set horizontal or verticals lines all over the screen, and then tweak your settings to minimize the 'interference patterns'.
