As strange as it may seem, clocks have always been one of the most popular gadgets on any modern computer. With over 20 clock applications tested, it was hard to pick just one, but DigiClock is my winner. It can match to any theme or wallpaper on your desktop. It has an intuitive interface lets you pick between a 12 or 24-hour time formats and best of all, you won’t need a calendar Gadget any more. DigiClock also shows the current date and day of the week.It’s the perfect complement to any desktop.

It has multi-processor support a Graph or Filled view of recent processor usage, and a few different color themes to choose from. What really impressed me is that it has Everest and SpeedFan support. If you leave either of them running in the background it will display live temperatures by date and requires just a few clicks to set up.

There a lot of information on net to understand what is best Processor for you and which can fill your demand and really for some peoples its hard to understand and I will try to tell you in simple and in easy steps and here our topic is Intel Processor.

Intel processors usually have more L2 cache memory in them now also L3. The cache memory is the absolute fastest memory in the computer. It resides in the CPU. The more cache memory that you have means better  performance will be for Gaming / Photoshop / Music editing. Intel processor chip sets are programmed with NVIDIA in mind.

L1, L2, L3 cache?

A CPU cache is a cache used by the central processing unit of a computer to reduce the average time to access memory. Cache Memory is a high speed memory kept in between processor and RAM to increase the data execution speed. It is kept near to the processor.

• L1 cache is very small and very tightly bound to the actual processing units of the CPU, L1 cache tends to be around 4-128KB.
• L2 cache is generally larger but a bit slower and is generally tied to a CPU core, L2 cache tends to be around 512KB to 2MB.
• L3 cache tends to be shared by all the cores present on the CPU and is much larger and slower again, but it is still a lot faster than going to main memory.L3 cache tends to be of the order of 4-15MB these days.

1. Clean up Hard Disk

Let’s begin by cleaning up hard disk first of all. You can use inbuilt Microsoft Windows tools like Disk Clean up utility. You can find it under start menu>accessories>system tools>disk cleanup. For Mac you can download CleanMyMac for wiping off unwanted temporary files and installations leftover from the hard disk.

2. Remove Unwanted Programs

Next thing that you can do is removing out unwanted installed programs from your system drive. Every program installed on your hard disk is taking up space and it might be connecting to internet for checking updates. Further most, may be it is also initiating itself during system startup. So, what we are trying to explain that remove such type of programs that you don’t use anymore. It will definitely boost your system and internet speed up to some extent. For removing unwanted programs manually, you can go to control panel and uninstall programs from there.
3. Cleaning temporary Internet files

Temporary files are actually meant for boosting internet browsing but as always there is limit of everything; too many of such files puts your computer down. So it’s important to delete such type of temporary files atleast once a week. For deleting temporary files in Internet Explorer just wipe off the browsing history. In Firefox history can be cleared from tools and then “clear browsing history”. For deleting history in chrome, go to setting>history and then “Clear browsing data”. You can also use system utilities like Ccleaner for cleaning the temporary files of all installed browsers in a single click.
4. Empty the cache

Cache are also like temporary Internet files that are meant to boost Internet browsing but too many of cache in cache folder will slow down the browsing speed. If you’re an addicted browser, then we’ll suggest you to empty the cache folder after a couple of days, a week or so. For empting the cache folder using CCleaner, check in the “Preftech” box before performing the operation. You can also empty the cache folder manually, just go to “C:/Windows/Prefetch” and delete all files in it.
5. Manually cleaning out Junk from PC

Sometimes, it’s easy to clean your PC manually and if you know how to clean your PC manually, you can implement it anywhere especially when you don’t have any system cleaning utilities. Let’s see how we can manually clean our PC:

Manually cleaning temp folder: Open run by pressing win + R and type “%temp%” (without quotes) and press enter or click OK. On pressing OK, a folder will be opened. This folder contains temporary folders and files that can be removed safely as they are not required anymore.
Manually deleting browsing history: For deleting temporary files in Internet Explorer just wipe off the browsing history. In Firefox history can be cleared from tools and then “clear browsing history”. For deleting history in chrome, go to setting>history and then “Clear browsing data”.
Uninstalling unnecessary Programs: For uninstalling unwanted programs, you can go to control panel > uninstall programs and uninstall unwanted and useless applications from there.
Empty the recycle bin: We think that deleting files and sending them to recycle bin removes the files from the hard disk but this isn’t the case, sending them to recycle bin just changes the location of the file. So empty the recycle bin every time you delete a couple of files.
