I highly recommend Belarc Advisor, however, I have found that the Windows Serial keys and Microsoft Office keys they shown seem to never be the correct ones. All other data seems to be 100% correct and Belarc is an invaluable software program, my guess that Microsoft is somehow affecting what 'keys' can be read. I've used this on at least 20 PC's over the years and the inaccuracy of the MS keys have been the only flaw.

Belarc Advisor produces a comprehensive Specification Report (mine runs 10 pages) of my computer and it's FREE for personal use. The information is invaluable when you need Technical Support and you are asked for spec. data. I highly recommended this software program.

Belarc is good. I like the fact that it even includes updates that aren't installed. I really don't know of another that does that. People that think their machines are completely up to date will probably be surprised.
I also use SIW because it's portable and Belarc has to be installed.
You could carry around the Belarc.exe on a stick also. Don't see a downside there either.

I started using BA way back and I think it's a nice app to have. But I wish there was simple information on how to correct benchmark failures. Those little red x marks bother me.

I LOVE Belarc Advisor!!! I have installed it on all of my PCs and those that I have repaired for family and friends. I inform all who use this wonderful FREE program, to print out the complete information for future reference. Plus, by printing out the information, the print out will give me all of the Product Key Codes numbers/letters, should I have to re-format and re-install Windows. Saves me LOTS of time and energy.

No, it is not as thorough as other programs, but most of those are not FREE and most times, all you need is the basic information. Another great feature of Belarc Advisor is that it tells you whether or not your PC security updates from Microsoft is up to date. That in itself is a great assess, especially when I am trying to 'trouble shoot' someone else's PC.

I personally list Belarc Advisor as one of my definite programs that MUST be installed on any PC. Plus, it is FREE!!! It can't get much better than that. }:o)

Aida32 is another VERY comprehensive professional system information, diagnostics and benchmarking program running on Win32 platforms. It extracts details of all components of the PC. It can display information on the screen, print it, or save it to file in various formats like HTML, CSV or XML. It's gotta be one of the top 5 most useful utilities ever. Oh, and it's free.

� full hardware & software information on 80 pages
� built-in hardware database: detailed information about 22000 components
� physical information for CPU, motherboard, hard disk, optical drives, motherboard chipset, buses, sensor information, installed programs, event logs list
� diagnostics module to reveal possible problems
� memory benchmark

and much more.

Although Belarc is a very good program which I use for overall viewing, I would also recommend SIW (System Information for Windows - SIW). It gets a tad more in depth with your system hardware and software. http://www.gtopala.com/

Everest would be another good benchmarking program.http://www.lavalys.com/
