I want to collect a list of free performance tools for everyone to benefit to speed up their overall computer enjoyment. Must work with Windows 7.
So far I have two tools.
1. Smart Defrag

Yes you do have to pay for it but there is a 30 day trial I think as well, but maybe I should have read the first post better although it would be better if it was stated in the thread title as well.

The trouble I find with these sort of programs, is that they rarely do what they are claimed to do, and you never know what its fully doing to your system as a result, plus most are better tweaked manually by the user. ;)

Yes, that's my idea, a list of ones that we know work as stated, compatible with Seven, and free.

Steer clear of reg defraggers as it messes windows 7 up.

And I would hardly call DLA a 'performance' tool - if you visit Comparison of download managers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia you'll find a nice list of free, non-ad-ware DLMs that works correctly.

A lot of folks are showing preference for Orbit, but it is missing one *sorely* needed feature - when you DL something and it already exists, you can either re-write or rename - and I prefer being able to make the choice on the fly - so I prefer to use Free Download Manager myself.
