Hardware Analyzer

**Sir-Nerd** · 06-26-2007, 07:45 PM

Anyone know about a software that finds DETAILED information on the hardware without taking the computer apart. I tried the dxdiag in RUN but thats not detailed enough. Oh and this software has to be free and no viruses please.

**HgMaDHaTTeR** · 06-26-2007, 07:46 PM

Any particular information you are looking for?

UnDeaD77 · 06-26-2007, 07:48 PM

CPUz is decent at telling your ram, CPU type, speed. ETC.

Belarc PC Advisor prog may be more of your interest though.

http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

Tells you alot of info about your computer. All installed software, and the cdkeys etc.

Heh, I actually had to use belarc today at work for them to catalog who has what CAD keys and such, very easy to run and understand the output.

The only good software I have is loaded with viruses.

**Sir-Nerd** · 06-26-2007, 09:00 PM

Any thing with detailed info on the RAM type and what pin as well as speed.
All i know its corsair and i have a gig

**HgMaDHaTTeR** · 06-26-2007, 09:09 PM

cpu-z will tell you that.

MagnaCentipede · 06-26-2007, 09:41 PM

Liquid metal said what I would've. Props.

I assume you're adding more and thus need to match the types?

**Sir-Nerd** · 06-26-2007, 10:25 PM

Pretty much
Although Ram is cheap maybe i should buy 2 gigs and forget about matching the gig i already have.

MagnaCentipede · 06-26-2007, 11:23 PM

Depends.

1) Does your system support Dual Channel?
2) Is your ram a pair of 512 or a single G?

PC Wizard 2007.

It is developed by the same guys who devs CPU-Z.

Or, get Everest Home Edition.

I use Sandra 2007 from SiSoftware quite regularly and have for many years.

http://www.sisoftware.co.uk/

It does what you're looking for and also has a lot of other benchmarking tools for things like hard drives, USB interfaces, network cards, processors, memory and more. It also has a good set of burn-in tools for new system builds to make sure everything is working properly.

On the download page they have a Lite version that's free or if you don't mind spending $39.99 you can get the Pro Home version.

MagnaCentipede · 06-28-2007, 09:53 PM

Then add two 1Gs and you'll have 3G. Win.
