I have tried dozens of recommended tools and never, not once, has one resulted in a performance improvement on the PC. The one and only MANUAL tweak that yielded benefits was by deleting the hardware hive and having to reinstall all the drivers. I would like to see a performance utility that allows management of this aspect of a PC.

Autoruns - ultimate startup manager? Pagedefrag from same team? Why not famous Cacheman? And - big question - isn't it better to speak about _classes_ of software then about specific programs? There are very many tweakers, optimizers, diagnostic tools - and tastes for them are differ. People can choose particular tool only because of it good look or specific hardware binding - as video tweakers for cards from Nvidia/Ati you talking about. But I think people better use some program of _video_tweaker_class_ or some defragmenter anyway. Being a "software counselor" for my friends and forum folks for many years, I find class systematic approach to software very useful. Don't give a man specific software - give him or her choice, and teach them choosing ;) Something like Snapfiles do - if you look to http://www.snapfiles.com/freeware/freeware.html , you can in few minutes {or, possibly, hours, if you want to read more about programs of particular class} discover, what is different software for, and why one may need it.

If you don't see a reason to use them don't, it is that easy. Most of the tools are not permanently in memory. If you don’t see a reason to use them don’t, it is that easy.
