Emsa PC FlexInfo
By EMSA SYSTEMS LTD
Emsa PC FlexInfo is a system information and diagnstics utility. What it does is, gathering system information data, also benchmark (CPU Speed test), and network info (IP and host lookup, Ping tool). It also shows realtime stats on items like CPU and memory load. The system information data is presented as text so it can be copied and pasted into documents. This program was designed with simplicity in mind, but usefulness for the user. The system information provides various informations about the local system ,like Operating System name and version, system folders, Service packs, cpu information, keyboard, mouse, environment variables, system drives information, memory allocation, supported screen modes, processes running, power & battery status, sound devices, services, local IP address & host, system.ini and win.ini files.The CPU graph and memory indicators show realtime info about these parameters, like memory allocation and page file.The CPU speed test allows you to check the estimated PR factor of your machine. The test takes about half a minute. Freeware.

ModemTest
By PassMark Software
ModemTest is an easy to use Windows based application that allows users to test their dial up modem. ModemTest performs low level testing that is independent of your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and the TCP/IP settings on the computer. It allows the modem to be tested in addition to the phone line the modem is connected to. ModemTest provides a method for system integrators and computer repair centers to test both internal and external modems. By a process of elimination, home users can also use the ModemTest to help isolate Internet connection problems to a faulty modem, or phone line or their ISP service. ModemTest logs any data corruption and incorporates a modem speed test which reports the initial connection speed and the actual throughput. Two different test methods are provided. The first test method uses two telephone lines and two modems in a master / slave configuration. The master dials the phone number of the slave modem and after a successful connection, data packets are exchanged between the master and slave. The second test method requires only a single modem and no telephone line. A local loop back is done on the analog side of the modem, ModemTest then sends data packets which are echoed back by the modem. In both cases ModemTest communicates to the modem using a COM port. (In the case of Internal modems or USB modems, this is a virtual COM port and not a physical plug on the machine). Modem Test allows the sending of specific data files allowing compliance to specific standards, for instance ITU-T v.56. Before sending any data, ModemTest first checks the settings on the serial port and then on the modem itself. Any data received is verified to be sure that it is complete and without errors. A log of the activity is kept in the right hand section of the window. Different types of activities are highlighted in different colors. Any errors are displayed in red. This log can be saved to disk if required.
CPUSpy
By Sinner Computing
Most x86 processors support the CPUID instruction which returns data describing the make and model of the CPU. Later processors also support extended features such as cache details, processor features, design speed and processor name. CPUSpy interrogates your processor and displays this data (if supported) in a easy to read tabbed format. L1, L2 and L3 cache data is fully broken down as are the processor flags. In addition, CPUSpy can also check your current CPU speed in MHz, Windows Up-Time, IP address, Window Version and memory status. CPUSpy even can run a test on your cache memory to provide an easy comparison between various processors or system configurations. CPUSpy also has an internal database of many common CPUs, supporting most AMD (tm), Intel (tm) and Transmeta (tm) processors. This can be used to compare between processors features such as bus speed, maximum frequency, cache sizes, release dates, codename, and transistor count. Interesting facts are also included for most major models. A OS database is also included for comparing past current and future versions of Windows as well as information on you computers drives. Processor data can be saved in a HTML report file providing an easy way to extract data from a PC and analyse it later. CPUSpy is written in 100% assembly language.
Broadband Speed Test
By Tamar Solutions
This Broadband Speed Test will test the exact speed between your system and another one wherever you choose. It allows you to enter a URL location and test the speed of a specific file from a server. This gadget shows the country of the remote server and gives the city location too. It connects to the file with a dedicated connection and therfore shows a truly accurate bandwidth speed.
