If you need a clean site (it's NOT a warez) where you can get almost anything click here.

Here you don't have to pay for programs but some of the mentioned will be only a trial version...

You should add VGA drivers. At least ForceWare and Catalyst. You should also add benchmarking program, there are several good ones.

Using simling is a way to communicate, it should be valued lower as its a grapichal way to show feelings.

He obisiuly agreed to that post vertigo posted, and instead of saying. "That's exactly right my friend" so did he just used the Thumbup, with the same meaning.

Why add extra text, and work, if you can inform the other persons with a a tiny image?

True that he isn't 100% on the topic, but we are all humans, right?

Also a note, About the Web Browser Opera... I've think they changed it so it's only a free version, as they diddn't get the ammount of customers they wanted to. But you will need to pay to recive the premium support. But that's a bonus, not the browser itself.
Atleast so have I never been asked to pay when I've downloaded the browser, wich was around a year ago for the first time...
I know it was required before, but I think they have changed.

Regarding Opera, never used it but from what I've heard FireFox is better, which is why i use it

You should add Media Player Classic to your list there. It's contained in either K-Lite or CCCP. Best video player out there, definitely.

I find these privacy protection programs quite useful:
PeerBlock (protects your PC by blacklisting a lot of known "bad" computers, and you can block whomever you want by yourself)
Free Hide IP (get it on download.com), in case you need a proxy, the free version gives you an IP in the US.

--------------------

Then God said, "Let there be win",
and there was win, and it was good.

Thanks for sharing. And for the drivers download, I am not use Driver Cleaner, because it mainly update drivers for graphic. I use Driver Docotor, it can helps to update all device and accessories such as keyboard, mouse, audio, graphic, printer, motherboard, network, etc.
