want to know whats inside your PC

I followed the link. This is a page from which I can download a program, the functions and origins of which are not disclosed. I can only guess at the safety and security. I think I will decline.
 
It's a very good piece of software which details all the hardware your computer is using.

These days, though, the creators, Lavalys, are concentrating on the commercial versions, so this free home user version is no longer supported, and as time goes on will become less and less useful as new hardware comes on the market and the software cannot identify it. It can no longer be downloaded from the Lavalys site, but you can still download it off the internet from sites such as the one linked to.

Great tool in it's time though
 
Thanks, that is helpful.

However, I can't really see many circumstances where one is unsure about what hardware is installed. Software, yes, since it has ways of sneaking in, but you have to go out and buy hardware and push in in to slots. You can't do that without noticing, can you?
 
This goes into detail that you'd be hard pushed to find any other way, with out a whole bunch of different utilities. Most people will never need that level of detail, but for some it's extremely useful.
 
Does it give more than... start Word... Help...About...System Info ? I have always been gob-smacked that this utility is hidden away in such a remote corner. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

pc OS will give all that and more quite easily.

The utility we are discussing gives WAY WAY more info. Like voltages that memory is running at etc etc etc etc etc.
 
The beauty of having a mac - who cares what voltage the memory is operating at? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif (Though System Profiler tells you everything you realistally need to know about your mac).

sys info on a pc will also tell you everything you realistically want to know.

How on earth have we got onto Mac vs PC, when we were discussing a utility that hardly anyone is ever going to have need of anyway.
