  2. 7 Zip or WinRAR?

    The only thing that I don't like about 7-Zip is its Windows 95-vintage graphics. Fortunately, there's a solution for that: 7-Zip Theme Manager.

    • Toolbar themes - change the look of the toolbar in 7-Zip.
    • Filetype themes - change the Windows icons for archive files.
    • 90 toolbar themes and 22 filetype themes to choose from.
    • Changing the SFX-icon (self-extracting archive) is now possible.
    Be sure to grab the 2.1.1. Hotfix to mod any version of 7-Zip from 9.23 to the present release (15.12 as of the time of this post).

    7-zip benchmark compilation

    Figured with someone benchmarks floating around this one would be interesting since quite a few people actually use 7-zip. I am also stealing newteckie's format for the thread so many thanks for him actually making a good layout.

    What you are going to need:

    7-Zip 9.30 beta: LINK

    Rules:
    • Put Add Me+version run as the title of your post.
    • Include a screenshot of CPU-z (CPU and Memory tabs) and the 7-zip window with your results (all in the same screen shot).
    • Only 7-zip version 9.30 beta will be counted.
    Instructions
    • Start 7-zip
    • Select tools-> benchmark
    • Select Dictionary size: 192mb (>8GB RAM) or 64mb (<8GB RAM)
    • Allow it to run at least 4 passes and hit stop

    You will be left with that screen


    Post your results in the following format:
    Name | Processor Maker | CPU Model and Clock | Total Rating (CPU USAGE) | Total Rating (Rating/Usage) | Total Rating (Rating) | 64-bit or 32-bit | Notes
