Now download softwares, free of cost

Gautam Srinivasan, CNN-IBN

New Delhi: Nothing is free in this world, and every experience of ours is testament to the fact.

If you want a house then you need to have money. If you want food then you need to have money.

But the case may be different if you want software. You don’t really need money to get good software.

And for proof of that there are three freewares that can make life a little easier.

If your net 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 optimiser.

Of course 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 0 rupees.

Gaming addicts for whom maximising frame rates in doom three or half-life two is their thing, then they could try out gamexp.

Gamexp is a simple freeware designed to make games run faster, if your OS is windows XP.

Just backup your settings, click on warp speed and you are ready to go. You can also get an added nitro boost by enabling this option.

And if you want to know how it works, then it is really simple.

The software gets under your OS's hood and tweaks your file system and memory settings for example optimising 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 finally if you have worked on Photoshop in a mediocre system you would know by now that it's 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 that 1.0 works from photoshop versions 3 to 8. The price is again 0 rupees.

Now all of these are value for money.
