Speccy
|
What's in your computer? If you're like most of us, you can probably
name the processor (Intel or AMD, Celeron or Pentium), maybe how much
RAM it has, and maybe how big the hard drive is.
When you go to a computer store and see all the bright shiny PCs laid
out next to each other, most will have tags or stickers indicating the:
- Processor brand and model
- Hard drive size and speed
- Amount of memory (RAM)
- Graphics card
- Operating system
Two or three years later, when it comes time to upgrade your
computer, that tag or sticker may be long gone. Speccy was designed as a
free electronic "what's inside" sticker for your PC.
Isn't this information in Windows?
Yes and no. Some of the basic information can be found by
right-clicking My Computer and then clicking Properties. The General tab
lists some statistics, and the Device Manager on the Hardware tab lists
all of the hardware you've got installed. But it misses out lots of
information that you need.
Speccy will give you detailed statistics on every piece of hardware
in your computer. Including CPU, Motherboard, RAM, Graphics Cards, Hard
Disks, Optical Drives, Audio support. Additionally Speccy adds the
temperatures of your different components, so you can easily see if
there's a problem!
Why do I need Speccy?
At first glance, Speccy may seem like an application for system
administrators and power users. It certainly is, but Speccy can also
help normal users, in everyday computing life.
If you need to add more memory to your system, for example, you can
check how many memory slots your computer has and what memory's already
installed. Then you can go out and buy the right type of memory to add
on or replace what you've already got.
If you're going to be selling your PC, you can use Speccy to quickly
list out the components. Or, if you're buying a PC, you can use Speccy
to check that the computer has what the label says it has.
Also, Speccy comes in handy for support. If you're on the phone with
technical support and they want to know what video card you have
installed, there's no need to hunt around Windows. Speccy has all the
information on one easy-to-understand screen.
