Speccy System Information Speccy is an advanced System Information tool for your PC.
We're still bug fixing, but have just released a
Public BETA version for you to download!
OverviewWhat'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.
Please note this is a beta version of Speccy and should
only be used by advanced users on test machines. We recommend you
wait for a final release version before downloading.
