program to check pc stats

[patrick]

Hi,

Is there a program I can run to check a pc's stats, eg. ram, cpu, motherboard, hd etc.?

Thanks

try everest home edition

 

[werner]

no, there isnt.

most of us just use the old technique of throwing the bones, and trying to read the results.

or try tea leaves

or, if you think I am joking, go download everest home edition, trial version available.

Lavalys Everest or SiSoft Sandra

If you're simply after the basic stats then on a Windows 2000 or XP machine, simply select start -> run and type in the following:

winmsd

If you're after something a bit more detailed but free, CPU-Z is quite useful.

SIW and Belarc Advisor do a great job.

There is a program I constantly as a pc technician - aida32.
its a free download and it will tell you everything from the speed your ram is running at to what versions of direct x files you are running. It lets you know the manufacturer of all your devices and even includes a weblink to download the drivers for that device.
there is no other program like it - just google aida32 - you will not be sorry.

No-one has even mentioned Speedfan, nice little prog that gives you access to all the temp sensors on your motherboard and fan speeds etc

Damn, aida32 and Everest look so much alike
