What Are Your "must Have Apps"?


Propane

Recommended Posts

Well, with my new motherboard coming in wendesday (YAY, its only been 5 months without a decent computer) I have decided to make a CD full of installers with "Must have" applications. What I have so far:

 

0. Latest nVidia drivers

1. Ad-Aware

2. H-Jack This

3. Firefox

4. Winamp

5. iTunes

6. Steam

7. PuTTY

8. Gmail Notifier

9. DirectX

10. Alcohol 120

11. DivX Codec

12. Gaim

13. Coolmon

14. Motherboard Monitor

15. WinRAR (Thanks to: Silverfox)

 

So, the question is what would you add to this list? Also, if you wanted a copy of the CD or something I could make an .iso or snail-mail.

Folding at home? AVG Free/SOPHOS? um....Zonealarm Free?

 

Are we talking free apps? Otherwise I would say that there are quite a few I could add...lol... Powertoys for WinXP (TweakUI), PowerDVD, ACDSee, Nero, DVD Shrink, Office 2003....

 

just my opinions though - i know some people choose other programs over the ones i mentioned.

I think that might be too much to fit into one CD, Raptor... let alone mostly payware :P

 

BTW, my vote for an AV would have to be Avast, hands down... We did a virii test a while back and Avast beat AVG if I remember correctly... :rolleyes:

the entire idea is to keep it bellow 250Mb so I can keep it on 1 disc... and stuff you have to download, not things like office that are on a CD... Im working on compiling all this info now...
