Page Defrag
One of the limitations of the Windows NT/2000 defragmentation
interface is that it is not possible to defragment files that are open
for exclusive access. Thus, standard defragmentation programs can
neither show you how fragmented your paging files or Registry hives
are, nor defragment them. Paging and Registry file fragmentation can
be one of the leading causes of performance degradation related to
file fragmentation in a system.
PageDefrag uses advanced techniques to provide you what commercial
defragmenters cannot: the ability for you to see how fragmented your
paging files and Registry hives are, and to defragment them. In
addition, it defragments event log files and Windows 2000/XP
hibernation files (where system memory is saved when you hibernate a
laptop).
PageDefrag works on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and
Server 2003.

PCI Latency Tool
Utility to set PCI Latency and possibly prevent game stutter or
improve FPS
This tweak is an important one, and one well worth checking into.
Apparently, newer high-end video cards hog PCI latency for no known
reason. This makes other components wait for access and causes
stutters and thus lower frame rates. If you adjust the latency this
might benefit you, users are reporting big improvements. You can
download this small utility program that allows you set your PCI
latency. Adjust the PCI latency from for example 248 to 64 , and
there's a very good chance of stutter free performance.

SpeedFan is a freeware program that monitors voltages, fan speeds
and temperatures in computers with hardware monitor chips. SpeedFan
can even access S.M.A.R.T. info for those hard disks that support this
feature and show hard disk temperatures too, if supported. SpeedFan
can even change the FSB on some hardware (but this should be
considered a bonus feature). At the lowest level, SpeedFan is an
hardware monitor software that can access temperature sensors, but its
main feature is that it can control fan speeds (depending on the
capabilities of your sensor chip and your hardware) according to the
temperatures inside your pc, thus reducing noise and power
consumption.
