Introduction
Quite recently, ARandomOWl (Adrian) and myself (Mutant_Tractor – Myles) decided to make a WPrime tuner for the BenchTec UK HWBot team.
What started off as a fairly simple program soon snowballed into a full-on collaboration to construct an AIO system tweaker. This system tweaker took us over a month of solid work, adding features for every conceivable tweak on each OS (either XP,Vista or 7).
This led to a plethora of updates and beta testing stages before we released it to the public.
Features
Main Dialogue:
Png/Jpg Screenshot
– Auto file-namer (you can name your own ofc) – Now does NOT overwrite old files!
Copy Wazza
– With Integrated Cache Stabilizing timer – User controllable Size and stabilization timeout – User controlable Superpi and Wazza drive selection
CDT-IV and CDT
– Per OPB and Elmors method – takes ~10-20mins to complete but is extremely thorough – User controllable Superpi and Wazza drive selection – Includes an alarm to alert you (through the motherboard speaker) when the CDT has finished so you can do other things while you wait
System Tweaks Dialogue:
Pagefile control
– Allows users to set and view pagefile info as well as control the initial and max sizes of the file as well as the drive it is hosted on, If no pagefile exists or it is set by the system then it will alert you to this
Maxmem
– Allows users to set maxmem in XP, Vista and Windows7 – If left at 0 MaxMem limit will be removed, anything above 0 and MaxMem will be applied with that value – XP MaxMem assumes that the benching OS is the first partition in the boot.ini file
Disable Unnecessary Services
– Stops extraneous from using up system resources
Enable Large System Cache
– Checkbox indicates the current setting of this variable, If left blank LSC will be left/turned off, if it is checked it will be left/turned on
Disable Paging Executive
– Checkbox indicates the current setting of this variable, If left blank PE will be left/turned off, if it is checked it will be left/turned on – (Thanks to Jabski for this tweak)
Win32 Priority Separation
– Checkbox indicates the current setting of this variable, If left blank Win32PS will be set a value of 2 (default), if it is checked it will be given a value of 26 – (Thanks to Jabski for this tweak)
Other Handy System Tweaks
– The app will auto detect your OS and apply tweaks from 2x tweaks for Vista/7 to 4x tweaks for XP – (Thanks to Jabski for this tweak)
OPB Cleaner
– Very handy “Junk” cleaner for all OS’s – safe to use on 24/7 OS

If that isn’t comprehensive I don’t know what is! All I can say is download her and give it a try, you’ll never know until you do!
If you do download it, please leave comments at the bottom of the download page or in the attached forums thread!
