TechBite Highlights PC Pitstop

TechBite Technology is Steve Bass's Weekly Newsletter.  I have read and enjoyed many of his PCWorld articles over the years.  This week he highlights PC Pitstop’s Full Tests  and other free tools.  If you are familiar with PC Pitstop, they are in the process of transitioning from the old Full Tests to OverDrive.  

Free Super Sites and Tools to Test Your PC

By Steve Bass, Newsletter #29, 20 May 2009

Are you sure your PC's healthy? Think back to when you heard that kerchunk sound coming from your hard drive. Or the last time your Internet connection was down -- and I don't mean just suffering from the blues. My advice: Check inside your computer's case with these free diagnostic tools and see if anything's amiss before disaster strikes.

-PC Pitstop: The Best of the Best

There are lots of testing sites around, but if you want to visit just one site to test your PC, I'd recommend PC Pitstop.

More here…..

PC Pitstop has a great forum with friendly staff and members.  Even if you think that you cannot learn anything about computers, PC Pitstop is the place to go to learn.  If you encounter problems running OverDrive, this is their forum for help.  If you need help interpreting the results or have any questions about the test, go here.  They allow you to run the test anonymously, but if you wish to post in these forums or provide a TechExpress link you must be a registered member first.
