O.k. guys, we all need backups of our fully tweaked operating systems or copies of clean installs backed up to image for ease of re-use. I've been using TerabyteUnlimited's "Image for Dos" for a few years now, I first started using it when i was a gamer and had X settings wired and wanted a copy of it.

I recently updated the "Image for Dos" to V2 and decided to skip the whole "Burn to DvD" crap and just burn to another hdd hooked up to the mobo. Well shit, it took all of 5 minutes to burn 3 operating systems at the same time to one image file. Granted I didn't have the validate, verify byte for byte and bit for bit options ticked (never had an issue with a backup using this software) but DUDE! 5 minutes? HOLY SHIZNIT FAST and convenient.

Just thought I'd pass it along to you guys. I'll e-mail Terabyte and see if I can get a coupon code for a OCA member discount promo with them.

Heres what I'm using http://terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-dos.htm
They also have a "In windows" Image for Windows Version but I dunno if its compatible with win7 yet.

Installed all teh benchmarks and drivers.
C: 15gigs XP32SP3
D: 18gigs Win732
E: 18gigs Win764

Image for Dos using MAX compression+Validate+Validate byte for byte= 54 minutes for complete 3 partition backup. Backup method-bios direct, backup from disk0,x0,x1,x2. Backup to "Direct" disk2.

Total size of Single backup image = 12.3 gigs

Not bad at all homies.

I have been using Gadwin screen capture myself. Binds to the print screen key, saves in various formats, also copies to clipboard. And it default adds text to my images (Neuromancer team Overclockaholics :))

I only DLed it though because I did not do a full install of WinFLP so Paint was not included, I realized later I could just grab it from another XP box though lol

karmakazi 09-16-2009 02:45 AM

On a really cut down OS (in terms of services) Paint will take 2-3 minutes to open, which is why I dont use it. Gadwin is another good program, but has slightly more resource usage. When your on the edge, even the smallest extra can be enough to freeze on a screen capture

TechPowerUp GPU-Z 0.3.6 Released
Today TechPowerUp presents version 0.3.6 of GPU-Z, our graphics sub-system diagnostic utility that provides information on the computer's installed graphics hardware, their various specifications, and provides real-time updates on their parameters such as clock-speeds, temperatures, voltages, and fan-speeds. The utility is backed by our overclock validation system, and an extensive video-card BIOS database. This release brings with it a few important changes that improve compatibility with the latest graphics processors, and enhance usability.

To begin with, GPU-Z introduces an infotip feature that makes understanding graphics hardware easier. Hovering the mouse over an information field shows concise information related to that field. Along with polished support for ATI Radeon HD 5850, and HD 5700 series, version 0.3.6 introduces preliminary support for AMD's newer GPUs. Also introduced is support for several of NVIDIA's GeForce 100 and 200 series GPUs, and some Tesla GPGPU processors. A number of stability issues have also been fixed.

TechPowerUp GPU-Z 0.3.7 Released
TechPowerUp released the newest version of GPU-Z, our graphics subsystem information and monitoring utility. Version 0.3.7 brings with it some significant feature-set updates that enhance usability, and add the the vast amount of information this tiny utility can display. To begin with, GPU-Z now shows the GPU Computing features your graphics cards support, including whether they support technologies such as DirectCompute, OpenCL, CUDA, and PhysX acceleration. Building on the infotips feature the previous version came with, the Sensors tab now includes handy infotips too. For NVIDIA users, GPU-Z is able to display the exact amount of video memory in use by making use of a new driver-level feature by the company.

GPU-Z also includes full-support for ATI Radeon HD 5970, NVIDIA GeForce GT 240, and improved support for Intel G41. Detection features have also been added that help determine counterfeit graphics cards that use some old GPUs relabeled as new current-gen GPUs. Several other stability issues have been addressed. GPU-Z is backed by our extensive video-card BIOS database, and overclocking validation system.

TechPowerUp GPU-Z 0.3.8 released
TechPowerUp released the newest version of GPU-Z, our graphics subsystem information and monitoring utility. Version 0.3.8 brings with it some useful updates that fix several crashes and add useful features to the vast amount of information this tiny utility can display. GPU-Z now displays three GPU load percentages on NVIDIA GPUs: 3D rendering core, memory controller and video acceleration engine. In addition to that we set the foundation to allow multi-language support in GPU-Z in the future. To move forward with this we'd like native speakers to help with support for their language. The whole effort is coordinated in our GPU-Z Translation Forum.

Rivatuner GPU Monitor Vista Sidebar Gadget 2.2

This application is a Vista Sidebar Gadget that uses Rivatuner's low level hardware monitor for stats. I've finally released it on Microsoft's site.
If your Rivatuner install is reporting back values that you would like to see in the sidebar, then install this gadget and have it easily accessible.

Values will vary depending on the model card you have and its capabilities.

Values capable of being displayed include, but are not limited to:

GPU Usage
GPU Temperature
Core and Memory Clock Speed
Fan Speed
Frames per Second
AND MORE
** Add CPU, RAM, HDD and additional data with RivaTuner plugins

Does the cpu tweaker work on the EVGA X58 Boards?

Yep. I never really used it to change values, though you can, just used it in screen shots for the bot as well as information. I use to use memset, made by the same people, but it doesn't work for the 1366. I used it for my 775. Pretty much just another utility to add to your collection.
