XCPUScalar 2.0, Now with Auto Scale CPU speed, CPU Meter, Wisbar integration.

[immier]

New version 2.0, now with Auto Scale, CPU Meter and Health meters.
XCPUScalar allows you to dynamically scale the processor speed of your handheld Pocket PC 2002. Use Auto Scaling to assign speeds to different CPU loads, monitor CPU usage by using CPU Meter, It uses the power of the XSCALE processor and unlocks its dynamic scaling capabilities. You can reduce the speed of your handheld or increase its speed automatically depending on CPU usage of your applications. By scaling the processor speed down, you can increase the battery live between recharges or increase the speed when you need more power for playing games or multimedia programs that require more CPU power. Use Meters to monitor health of your Pocket PC. At a glance you can see CPU usage, Battey life and memory usage Meters. Download from:

Whats New in Version 2.0.

Auto Scale with CPU load:
Power on demand, XCPUScalar will now automatically calculate the CPU load on your Pocket PC and switch speeds automatically depending on whether an application requires less or more power. XCPUScalar will scale the speeds automatically and throttle speeds as applications demand power. XCPUScalar throttles down to idle speed when there is no activity giving you the maximum battery power consumption. You can assign your own speeds to different CPU loads as you desire.

XCPUScalar calculates all factors and normalizations automatically and takes the guess work out of using auto scaling.

CPU Meter and WisBar or other TaskBar Manager Integration:
XCPUScalar will now install an animated CPU meter icon on your TaskBar (this is the blue title bar area), you can monitor the CPU load and speed when running any application. Clicking on the CPU Meter will launch XCPUScalar for quick access to all settings. CPU Meter detects other taskbar managers and will install its icon in their taskbar area. The position of CPU Meter can be adjusted to be placed anywhere on the taskbar.

Health Meters:
At a glance look at all the vital signs of your Pocket PC. Meters show you CPU usage, Battery Life, Memory program and storage Meters. See how much memory is being used, or left on the fly.
Reduce Screen Flicker Option:
This option was added in XCPUScalar 400 only, to support the Ipaq 39xx and 54xx series to virtually eliminate screen flicker during speed changes.
Support from 100 to 500MHz:
XCPUScalar 400 now has support for all popular frequencies from 100 to 500MHz. The Ipaq 1910 version can be scaled from 100 to 300 and has a optimized 300MHz speed that reaches benchmark speeds of other 400MHz Xscale's.

Today Screen system tray support:
XCPUScalar can be run from the system tray of the Today Screen allowing easy access to all configurable settings. The system tray icon animates when you change CPU speed, showing you currently running speed at a glance. The tray icon is user selectable and can be turned off.

Sticky Settings:
XCPUScalar automatically detects the speed of your handheld and will automatically force the CPU speed to the user selected speed if it detects that its different. Most 400MHz XScale Pocket PC's automatically reset their speed to the manufacturer's default speed of 400MHz when you Power Off the unit, or when the unit goes into idle mode, causing battery drain. XCPUScalar automatically detects these changes and will revert back to the user selected speed. This setting is user selectable and can be turned off.

Hardware KeyLock:
XCPUScalar can now lock your hardware keys so they do not accidently start other programs when the handheld is in the ON or OFF position.

Display Toggle:
This feature is a display toggle, you can now listem to MP3's while the screen is turned off, saving battery life. by default the Today/Home button is mapped as the display toggle button to turn the screen ON/OFF. Use it in combination with KeyLock to lock all keys but the display toggle key.

Power Off and Soft Reset:
With one click you can now power off or soft reset your Pocket PC without pressing any hardware buttons.

Launch from Anywhere:
XCPUScalar can be configured to execute from the control panel, via a shortcut, from the TaskBar area or from the system tray of the Today Screen. This gives you maximum flexiblity in launching XCPUScalar.

Stealth Mode:
When XCPUScalar is minimized to the system tray, it will automatically remove itself from running processes list.
