| 88364 | 2002-10-11 18:34:00 | AIDA32 v3.2 [1.5M] W9x/2k/XP FREE www.aida32.hu {System report/benchmark} First, I want to start out by saying that I can't believe the product is free. I have never seen a system-reporting tool that is so well put together. If there was anything you wanted to know about your computer, this is the application that will find and tell you about what you are looking for. Want to know the motherboard CPU Package Type? Done! Want to know the BIOS type? Done! There are so many areas of reporting that this application covers that I couldn't possibly name them all. Heck, I haven't even found them all! Don't worry. The application is easy to use, and you don't have to be "super tech" to understand it all. AIDA32 will also let you export your summary results in TXT, HTML, MHTML, XML, CSV, MIF, and INI file formats. AIDA32 comes in three flavors: Enterprise, Personal, and Network. The last two versions fit on a floppy, making it the perfect tool for desktop technicians. Basically, all that I can say is that you would have to be CRAZY not to download this product. A program this well created may not stay free forever, although I hope it does! [BS] |

| 88365 | 2002-10-11 20:50:00 | Hi Laurie Aida sure looks interesting, but how about giving us the benefit of your prior experience and indicating which download to go for. There are several options (not just exe or zip of course) and it would save long downloads for dial-up connections. I'm on Jetstream so it doesn't bother me but I'd still like to save time if I can.

| 88366 | 2002-10-11 21:33:00 | I d/l'd the enterprise version and took it for a spin. I like it, thanks. | helvista (1745) | ||
| 88367 | 2002-10-11 21:49:00 | Excellent program, just tried the Personal version. Really good, and I liked the url links to the hardware manufacturers. As you say it fits on a floppy, so the program is portable. THAT is its main advantage as you can easily check out other computers, after all you should know whats on your OWN computer :) Programs like Syscheck are now way out of date and not much use. |

| 88368 | 2002-10-12 01:10:00 | What about Norton's SI, Terry? It tells you how much faster the computer is than an original PC or XT. I've still got it on a few floppies ... including 5.25" 360k ones :D | Graham L (2) | ||
| 88369 | 2002-10-12 02:33:00 | I never had Nortons Sysinfo Graham, but the dos ones are more preferable :) for checking computers with no OS, like you often get at auctions. There are not many upto date ones around now, there is Dr Hardware at: http://www.dr-hardware.com/ but that is a bit pricy for what it does. An older shareware version of that used to crash when video testing, so I went off it. PC-Config is another fairly recent dos sysinfo, but that hasnt been updated for about 2 years, and the shareware version is a bit crippled, http://www.holin.com |

| 88370 | 2002-10-12 02:43:00 | I've found the best disk for looking at auction boxes is a Linux boot floppy. The hardware detection is brilliant. (I've even used the 8086 version). | Graham L (2) | ||
| 88371 | 2002-10-12 03:09:00 | hi laurie, which one r u talking about, Enterprise System Information, Personal System Information, | phillip pond (435) | ||

| 88373 | 2002-10-12 06:36:00 | I am happy most of you like it. I thought it might be of interest for some of the Readers. I have installed the Enterprise edition, the Personal edition will fit on a floppy. Only took about 15 minutes to download on my 56k dialup ( cut down to 33k due to our area in the Taranaki ) Cheers all Laurie |
