Need a program that will give me hardware specs.

I'm doing an inventory of about 50 PCs today. Is there a program that will tell me HD, Ram, Processor, CD Drive, video etc. prefferably that I can run from disk.

Thanks

I'm going to give you a cautious recommendation on this.The utilities suite "Nuts and Bolts 98"and I think the McAfee utilities suite by whatever name contains a program called "Discover Pro".You can do a custom install to get just discover pro but you may get some lockup and shutdown problems.The shutdown problems can be easily remedied with a visit to Mcafee's website(I don't remember exactly all the details or I'd tell you) and I only got locked screen if I tried to use the video and cpu benchmarks.Otherwise, Discover pro will tell you alot including how much ram each running program is using,has pie charts,tells you model and serial number of your hard drive, etc.It's really not that bad to use and will give alot of info.I'd recommend something better but I don't know what it is. helikon

Thanks for the info. Is there a freeware or shareware or demo of it? I looked on Mcafees website, but didn't find anything.

I tried Sisoft Sandra. It works great, and gives me everything I need, but it won't run on win95. Does anyone know of a program that will work? I need to do win95 and 98. I might have one or two win2k machines, but I can do those manually if I need to.

Does anyone have an older version of Sandra that works on win95 archived anywhere?

Thanks

I have two old versions of SiSoft Sandra (99 and 2K) and they both work fine in my 98se machines... I'm assuming they'll work in 95 machines. Actually I don't see any versions of SiSoft that won't work in 95 machines... but then again I never tried myself. E-mail me if you want and I'll try to hook you up. I won't be able to e-mail it to you but maybe we can working something else out... ftp, maybe.

Sisoft Sandra is good like he said it tells me everything

Installing a program takes a lot of work. Personally I would:

Stick in a floppy with WCPUID in it for CPU speed and type, go to my computer to find hard drive size. Run dxdiag for ram and video stuff. Not sure for CD-ROM.

Thanks for the offer pochacco20, I emailed the ftp info to you, thanks a million.





<< Installing a program takes a lot of work >>



Ya, but it gives you a really nice html document (at least the new one does), with every spec on the computer you could think of. You should check it out if you haven't. It's a really cool utility.


Edit - I found some of the online documentation that said that it wouldn't run on Win95. I thought just maybe it might, so I tried it. It said some file was missing.
