Speedswitch XP

Blogged in overclock, system by Administrator Monday August 28, 2006 at about 8:19 pm

SpeedswitchXP is a small applet that sits in the system tray and allows dynamic switching of the frequencies of mobile Intel and mobile AMD CPUs under Windows XP. During the development of Windows XP, Microsoft decided to integrate dynamic frequency switching into the operating system itself. On a default Windows XP installation, the power schemes in the power settings of the system panel control the frequencies of the processor.

On Windows 2000 and previous operating systems, it was possible to manually control the CPU frequencies with a SpeedStep applet provided by Intel, but this is not possible anymore under Windows XP. It is not very good documented what the different Windows XP power schemes do and it is impossible to fully adjust the schemes as the important settings are not accessible through the control panel.

Taskbar Clock Enhancement

Blogged in Information, system by Administrator Saturday August 26, 2006 at about 5:29 pm

Taskbar Clock Enhancement (TClockEx) enhances the standard Windows taskbar clock, adding the ability to display the date, time and lots of other information in any format you like. TClockEx is highly customizable, from the format to the font and colour, and even the tooltip information. Many people have wondered why this wasn’t built into the standard clock to begin with.

Beginning with version 1.4, TClockEx includes the ability to include user-defined display elements. A user-defined element appears in any of TClockEx’s format strings as an element name surrounded by ‘%’ symbols. For example, the following format string includes a user-defined element named USER, which will be expanded by TClockEx. Third party applications can interface with TClockEx to set and reset the values of user-defined elements by poking values into TClockEx’s DDE server. This is documented in the TClockEx help file.
