Free Virtual CD-ROM Emulator, Alcohol 120% and Daemon Tools Alternatives

August 30, 2008 · Filed Under Software · 1 Comment 

Stop searching for Alcohol 120% crack or serial, forget about Daemon Tools, Microsoft has a free CD-Rom emulator for Windows XP user. Undeniably Alcohol 120% and Daemon Tools are both equally popular among user of virtual CD-Rom feature, if you happen to have absolutely no idea what is a virtual CD-Rom, basically what these software does is to allow users to mount ISO files as virtual CD-ROMs, without the trouble of burning them to a CD and extract it.

Who uses ISO files? Well, geeks and hardcore gamers because ISO files allows the running of games from backup copies as if the original disc were inserted into the CD-Rom drive, in short it is a CD or DVD emulator.

We do love these tools, Daemon Tools is free but comes with ad support, Alcohol 120% comes with a 29 pound price tag, rather expensive for a simple tool. Microsoft on the other hand has a 60kb program that does the same thing, the only drawback is the lack of support (who needs it anyway?) and the minimal features packed into the program, well, at least its free.

Download Microsoft Windows XP Virtual CD control panel. As the name implies, it is only available for Windows XP, not sure about Vista, probably they had one built into it. It is not as user friendly as Alcohol 120% and Daemon Tools.

ReadyBoost Technology in Windows XP SP3, Increase Memory

ReadyBoost Technology in Windows XP SP3

Want to speed up your computer without upgrading your RAM? Microsoft ReadyBoost technology in Windows Vista has the ability to boost your system by utilizing any type of flash memory from SD card to USB Thumbdrive. I was hoping that Windows XP service Pack 3 comes with ReadyBoost technology but I doubt that is going to happen.

ReadyBoost is a great technology when you’re low on RAM, especially when you’re into graphics, multimedia and gaming, it is not as responsive as a RAM but good enough to increase responsiveness and performance to a certain level.

Fear not, eBoostr is here to save the day. eBoostr offers such an easy and relatively cheap solution to the problem of insufficient RAM, that you will have absolutely no need to buy additional memory. All you need to boost your computer performance: is plug in a flash drive, choose it as a device to speed up your computer and set the amount of the memory space to be used.

Highlights

  • Vista’s ReadyBoost benefits on your Windows XP® machine;
  • Smart caches frequently used applications and files for maximum performance speed up;
  • Supports both USB and non-USB removable media devices, as well as additional hard disks;
  • Allows up to 4 devices for simultaneous smart caching;
  • Cache file size of up to 4GB on each device;
  • Compatible with all ReadyBoost® ready devices.

eBoosts 1.1 is such a great application, for a person that is into graphic designing and still stuck in Windows XP, I would say eBoost 1.1 is a good investment, it is just 29 dollars. Don’t go on google for Cracks, Serial or Keygen, it is not worth it, support the author.

Another option besides eBoostr is to reconfigure your Windows Pagefile system, right click on ‘my computer’ properties and the proceed to change your default Pagefile system drive from C: to the one assigned by Windows for your computer, it can be E: or F: depending on the numbers of storage drives you installed in your system.

Vista More Secure than Linux and Mac OS X

June 25, 2007 · Filed Under Security · Comment 

vulnerabilities comparison os operating system windows xp vista mac linux

Is Windows Vista and XP really secure than Linux and Mac OS X? According to Microsoft’s Security Technology Unit Jeffrey Jones, Vista and XP are indeed better than the other OS, or so it seems.

One of the reason for such a high number of vulnerabilities is the fact that other OS like Linux and Mac comes bundle with tons of softwares that do not exist in Vista or XP, for example operating system like Linux tend to bundle with word processing programs and image editing programs, to include these security holes together with the OS is very unfair, that would be like including Microsoft Office’s security holes together with Vista and XP.
