ISOTorch 1.0

If you’re looking to try out the new Ubuntu 10.04 Beta, you’ll need to burn to CD and you can do that with ISOTorch. ISOTorch allows you to burn ISO images to CD or DVD so that you get a useable disc that, in the case of Linux distros, you can boot up from and install on your PC.

ISOTorch is freeware and uses the open-source CDRtools package. Source code is included in the download file but is not necessary to install in order to make ISOTorch work.

Simply choose your ISO image file to burn, select your CD/DVD drive, load in a blank disc of appropriate size and press the Burn Disc button. ISOTorch takes care of the rest.

ISOTorch works on Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7 computers, either 32-bit or 64-bit versions.

Operating System: Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7, 32-bit or 64-bit.
Version: 1.0.6

System Spec Analyser

There are lots of tools out there that will drill down and give you the run-down on your PC or notebook’s system hardware. The problem I had was I couldn’t find one that have you everything on one simple page in a single glance.

That’s what System Spec Analyser does.

It gives you all the basic information about your PC or notebook you need without all the guff you probably don’t.

Here’s a quick list of what you’ll learn about your computer:

* Processor make and model
* Processor actual clock speed (as opposed to what’s written on the box)
* Motherboard make and model
* BIOS version
* System memory and speed
* Graphics card
* Hard drives (SATA, IDE, RAID and USB storage included)

* Optical drives
* Operating system (include 32-bit or 64-bit indication and any service packs added)
* Monitor make and model
* Graphics card memory, resolution and refresh rate, driver version and maximum refresh rate supported.

If you’re about to upgrade your PC, this is the sort of information you’ll want to know, so you know what hardware you’re starting with and what you’ve got to work with. Most upgrade mistakes are through a lack of knowing the existing hardware.

Operating System: Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7, 32-bit or 64-bit.
