iRoster lets you see what type of rendezvous advertising is going on around you. Most fun on a campus or in an office. It lets you see http, afp, ftp, smb, etc. enabled on computers around you.

I use it in the Dock like a shortcut bar to the file-sharing computers near me.

Cool toy, and shareware.

Here is a benchmark utility if anyone was looking for one, it looks like it does quit a few tests.

No one has said anything about ASM? My goodness, it's only the best utility for OS X! It's worth every penny, too!

http://www.vercruesse.de/software

This piece of software greatly helped the transition from OS 9 to OS X. I consider it to be indispensible.

Remote Desktop Connection if you have a PC!

[VegetaPunk]

need a link for the remote desktop please......

[Jeffx342]

here you go


http://www.microsoft.com/Mac/DOWNLOAD/MISC/RDC.asp

[VegetaPunk]

sweet thanks for the link:D

do games fun well through this?? I would concider building a gameing box if it does.....

[losfp]

I wouldn't suggest using RDC for games!! Or even video or audio. Because of the limited bandwidth connecting you to the PC, it wouldn't look okr sound too good :)

It's perfectly usable for some things though - I use it for kazaa, file organising, burning (my DVD burner is installed in my PC) and so on.

If yo'ure building a gaming box, use the gaming box for gaming :D

[Jeffx342]

yea, I believe you can run games, But you would need a 802.11g Card, a 802.11g router, and a 802.11g card for your mac = 54mgs/sec transfering rate.
(11mgs/sec is just not enough it feels almost like VPC, but a tad faster. 11mgs/sec is standard 802.11a
