There have been links to Gizmos top Freeware previously in this list, but they now have "A kind of WikipediaŽ for Freeware" available.

I used that about a year ago on a very weak machine that couldn't handle FF. It was a 166 MHz with 96 MB of RAM running Win2k. I was impressed with how nice it was for a light-weight browser. It rendered pages very quickly, and didn't hog many resources.

For those of you who use Secunia, you might want to try SUMo.

Quote:
SUMo, which stands for Software Update Monitor. Thanks to SUMo you'll be able to keep your PC up-to-date by using the most recent version of your favorite software ! Unlike build-in auto update features, SUMo tells you if updates are available before you need to use your software.
I compared SUMo to Secunia and of the 100+ programs I have Secunia found 6 that were out of date and SUMo found 40. Plus SUMo runs much faster and you can put programs you don't want to check on an 'Ignore List'.

XXClone Freeware v. 0.58.0 is one of the most amazingly brilliant free pieces of software I've ever found. It's small (1.2MB) from http://www.xxclone.com and of course, there are paid-for versions with extra features.

One of my computers has both IDE (PATA) and SATA hard disks installed. I easily copied the entire contents of the IDE (including XP Pro's system files) to the SATA drive without a hitch. So what? The cloned drive is bootable! No need to use DOS and re-starts.

IMHO, this software runs rings around other disk backup programs. The paid-for version costs about $40 (depending on how many computers you want to use it on).

Works like a dream!

This is a good one, Album Art Downloader XUI, it's still in beta but I haven't had any problems with it. You put in artist and album, it searches multiple websites, displays thumbnails of the album art it finds and the dimensions of the image. It requires .NET Framework 3.5 to run.

Some portable Mp3 players won't display the album image if the album art tag is greater than 32 KB. So I use Mp3Tag to check the size of the image and Album Art Downloader to download an image of about 300 x 300 jpg, that seems to be the size that's closest to 32 KB, but it does vary.
