Free PC Utilities.

Thought I'd start a thread where you can post any free PC utilities. I am just learning on the PC so when any problems occur, I immediately think it is the OS. That is not always the case, sometimes it is the hardwear!
I'll start the ball rolling:

Memory Diagnostic here:

Any other sites for hardwear checks would be much appreciated!
lol

That was me DW, Still using it myself. May I recommend Dial-a-Fix also, nothing to do with dialing or dialers, It's a prog that sorts out lots of niggling windows probs. Heres the link @ Major Geeks where I found both of these:
