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!

* Processor brand and model
* Hard drive size and speed
* Amount of memory (RAM)
* Graphics card
* Operating system

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.
My home built PC was shutting down, and you could smell hot wires, once I put speecy on and monitored hard drive, cpu, cores, and graphic card temps in celcius I was able to determine I needed more cooling, new case, extra fans, and huge copper heat sink fixed the problem for good. I put it in the startup group and run it all the time.

Rhody... :cool:

Greg,

Trust me you will love it, add new hardware no problem, it detects it each and every time you boot, the discovery process takes about 30 seconds to a minute.
