Adding SPDTool to the list. It is narrow in function, but invaluable if you want to alter the SPD EEPROM on a memory module.

Generally when we refer to overclocking program, it is in reference to overclocking your video card. And by that i mean, pushing the core, ram, and shader domain to a higher frequency than what the card is in "retail form." In essence increasing gaming performance, at the cost of an increase in temperature, and if pushed too far, instability.

All ram and processor overclocking is done through the BIOS.

I think I'll add SuperPi.
Checks computer performance by calculating Pi up to a set amount of digits.
My computer got 32 mil in 20 seconds.

I work part time in IT so we have a few fun things we install on the machines.

One I didn't see on your list was ThreatFire. Basically it's a behavioral analysis program that 1) is free and 2) is decent. When I say behavioral analysis I don't mean it tracks down all the free pr0n sites you go to, but rather it looks for abnormal processes (like sending text documents periodically out of port 42498... hmmm... hmmmmmmm).

I like it and use it at home.

You also might consider adding CCleaner.

Oooo, and how about encryption? There's FreeOTFE as well as TrueCrypt.

Uhhh...

That's all I can think of to add for now.

I think we have tried to have some fun with that TrueCrypt eh there Matt? Good times with that...But I'll have to check out that ThreatFire...Peerguardian doesn't always cut it.
