Mumbai: Nothing Is free. Every experience of life is testament to that fact. If you want love, you need to have money. If you want a house, you need to have money. If you want food, you need to have money.

If you want software, you need to have ... wait actually, you don't really need money to get good software.

If you have been a freeloader all your life, then this story about free softwares, which do all the work quicktime with no hassles, is right up your alley.

Here are three 'freewares' which can make your life a little easier.

Now if your Internet connection is as slow as a snail, you could use this nifty utility to turbocharge your connection. All you have to do is visit speedguide.net/downloads.php and download the file TCP optimizer.

This is tune-up program for your Internet connection.

In case you don't know your MTU's from your RWIN's then you could leave all the dirty work to this software.

There is also an option to backup all your settings. All this for the grand price of Rs 0.

Moving On. This piece of code is for all you gaming-addicts out there.

If maximising frame rates in Doom 3 or Half Life 2 is your thing, then you could try out GameXp.

What is that? Well it's a freeware designed to make games run faster, if your OS is Windows Xp that is. It's simple too. Just backup your settings, click on Warp Speed and you are good to go.

You can also get an added nitro boost by enabling this option. Want to know how it works. Well its simple really. The software gets under your OS's hood and tweaks your file system and memory settings for example optimizing registry values for your graphics card or changing cache settings.

To download, just head over to tucows.com and type in gamexp in the search box.

And now for the final recomendation.

If you have worked on Photoshop in a mediocre system you would know by now that its loadtimes are painfully slow. But now, you cut that time by half by just downloading Photoshop SpeedUp 1.0 from download.com.

This software removes all the unnecessary plugins from the equation. The options include adjustments for memory usage, a disable Adobe Fonts option and backup apart from other features.

And if you are wondering about compatibility, the Photoshop 1.0 works from Photoshop versions 3 to 8.

The Price: Again Rs 0 making all these 'freewares' complete value for money.
