0 Compression Utility

Each computer needs compression software to open certain file types as .zip, .rar, .tar, .7z, and many more. Why compression are important? Because it can reduce file size, and can merge many files become one file (compressed file).
That reason make you need a compression tool. Many compression tools that available to choose. Now, let's discuss them.

1. 7-Zip
This utility is free, open-source, 7-zip has best compression performance than other applications. It fast, high compression ratio and only consume a little of memory. But, 7-zip has less interesting view. We recommend 7-zip because it very quick, safe, and free.

2. Win RAR
 Who don't know Win RAR, famous compressing tools. This tool also has good compression performance, about 110%, but worse than 7-zip that has compression ratio 100% (less mean better). Win RAR is shareware, so, you need pay to use Win RAR. This tool has better view than 7-zip.

3. Win Zip
Win Zip also a good utility in file compression, file sharing, and file encryption. Win Zip has good performance, and very light as well as Win Rar, about 114% compression ratio. Win Zip is shareware,  but, you're allowed to get it's trial version.


Ah, there are other compression tools, they also good, and worth to try.
1. Pea Zip   Good alternative.
2. AlZip      if you need speed and minimum resource needed.
3. IZArc     Good freeware WinRAR or Win Zip alternative.

0 GPU Overclock Guide

You have a GPU, but, it works slow?

Now, i will show you how to boost your GPU performance

This way works with improve increase your GPU clocks directly.

These are the steps :

1. Download RivaTuner 2.24c from Guru3D.

2. Install RivaTuner 2.24c and if you are asked for install update, select install update.

3. Run RivaTuner (If show unsupported drivers, ignore it).

4. Wait RivaTuner to scan your hardware, registies for Forceware, Catalyst 

5. If your GPU(s) are nVidia will be shown Forceware detected, and if your GPU(s) are AMD will be shown Catalyst detected.

Note: Don't Overclock your Integrated GPU, only for dedicated GPU

6. Click Triangle next to "Forceware/Catalyst detected"

7. RivaTuner will show new window. Give check "Enable hardware level overclocking"

8. Now, select Performance 3D and slide the slider below "GPU clock", "Memory clock", and "Shader clock"(if supported) until you find desired clocks.

9. If you have found desired clocks, now, click Save under Startup settings and check "Apply Overclocking at Startup".

10. Apply and OK.

I try above steps using GPU nVidia GeForce 9600GT

And I have done benchmark for it (3Dmark 2003) 1024x768 noAA. 

1. Before overclocking (450 Mhz, 500 Mhz, 1000 Mhz) the result is 15990

2. After overclocking ( 600 Mhz, 625 Mhz, and 1250 Mhz) the result is 16450

It also increase Frame Rate while i play Crysis : Warhead at mainstream settings, about 2.5 - 3.25 fps.

Note : Only slide the slider between blue indicator (save overclocking, no other cooler needed) 

0 Speed Up Intensive Applications with RAM Drive

Speed Up Intensive Applications

If your computer has some RAM to spare, RAM drive is perfect to increasing the performance of any applications that must read and write any data. Using a special kernel mode driver along with system memory, a temporary can be created that significantly faster than traditional storage. Spindle based harddisk found in almost every computers have a maximum read and write speed of around 100 MB per second. The performance of RAM drives are only limited by speed of memory and chipsets. That result in read and write speeds well above 1 GB per second and on high end system much faster.

There are a lot of different ways to create RAM drive. The method that i'll show to you will use a free application (utility) called RAMDisk that will allow you to create drive up to 4092 MB (assuming you have more than 4096 MB RAM in your computer)

1. First, download dataram RAMDisk
2. Then, click start button, and launch RAMDisk Configuration Utility

3. On the Settings tab specify the Disk size and Type.

4. Then, click start RAMDisk and your drives will be ready for used in windows explorer listed to the next of the other storage drives on your computer.
The main problem with RAMDisk is the non-persistent nature of the disk. Turn off your computer and the contents of RAMDisk will be gone forever. Dataram RAMDisk has a helpful feature that will allow you to save the state of your RAM drive upon shutting down and loading image of it, from a file from your harddisk, on startup to restore any data. You can find these settings on the load and save tab of the RAMDisk Configuration Utility.

Now, that you have a RAM drive setup and try running moving the internet explorer temporary internet files to speed up internet browsing or redirect any other disk intensive applications to use RAM drives.

0 VM VirtualBox

VM VirtualBox

VM VirtualBox is a software from Oracle (oracle, that name a symbol of free, open-source). This software allow you to make virtual environment in your PC. This virtual environment don't affect the main OS (commonly called HOST). This virtual machine very useful if you want to try many different Operating System without dual-boot, and you can make, reverse code, and modify viruses without affect the Host, absolutely secured.

Download 
VM VirtualBox 4.0.2 for Windows hosts
VM VirtualBox 4.0.2 for Mac X OS hosts
VM VirtualBox 4.0.2 for Linux hosts
VM VirtualBox 4.0.2 for Solaris hosts

I will explain how to use it later. And how to enable XP mode with VM VirtualBox.

2 How to Install Google Android x86 ?

Install Android x86 (Live CD / USB)

Android x86 has implemented easy installer to install android x86 to your harddisk, android has support following partition types (System Files).
1. NTFS (New Technology File System)
2. FAT32 (File Allocation Table 32)
3. Ext3
4. Ext2
That mean you can install it with your windows.

Step by step :
1. Boot from Android x86 installation CD/USB, select "Installation-Install Android to harddisk", as the picture below.

2. After your boot has completed, you will see partitions configuration's dialog. You can select one of your partitions to install Android, or you can create or modify the partitions with select "Create or Modify Partitions". Note : If target drive not shown, try "Detect Devices"

3. Android can be installed side by side with other Operating System, or the data in your selected partition. If partition will be formated, you can select "Do not Format" to save the data in your selected partition. Note type of partition, the selected one must same with ID partition, or boot loader will failed to boot.

also note if you select to formating to FAT32, you will see a warning dialog box, if android can't save all data for FAT32. You still can continue to install, but, the android system that installed will work as Live CD. That mean all data will be lost if the machine has powered off. Therefore, we don't suggest to install Android x86 to FAT32 partitions.

4. The next question is "Do you want to install boot loader GRUB?". Commonly you must answer "YES", except if you want to install it by yourself. Note : Boot Installer just create items for Android x86.If you want other Operating System, you need to add items to the  /GRUB/menu.lst manually. See article about "Advance  Multi-Boot"

5. Now, your Installation has started and you can see Installation Progress bar.

6. OK, wait a few minutes, and you will see a dialog box below. Congratulation, your installation has finished successfully. Now, you can start Android x86 directly, or reboot and run it.

Advanced Multi-Boot


To boot to another Operating System you must add items for that OS in this location  /GRUB/menu.lst. For example, for windows, add the following codes :

        Codes :

      tittle Windows

       rootnoverufy (hd0,0) rootnoverufy (hd0, 0)

       chainloader +1 chainloader +1

This assume if windows installed in the first partition of first harddisk. Or, you must change the rootnoverify to the appropriate values. See GRUB manual for details.

Developers can report bug, submit patch, and debug Chromium. Chromium can't be edited by Visual Studio 2010, it work only at Visual Studio 2008 or 2005. Then, if you are developers, and understanding programming you must try Chromium and you help google to create powerful platform for developing a new generation of web applications. Below is the Chromium download link.

 http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/Internet/Browsers/Portable-Google-Chrome-Chromium.shtml

Extract and copy the downloaded file (.zip) to path of your google chrome. Default Chrome path is  "C:\Users\<name of user>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"

Enjoy developing....
