PC WIZARD 2008 is a powerful utility designed especially for detection of hardware, but also some more analysis. It's able to identify a large scale of system components and supports the latest technologies and standards. This tool is periodically updated (usually once per month) in order to provide most accurate results.

PC WIZARD 2008 is also an utility designed to analyze and benchmark your computer system. PC Wizard can analyze and benchmark many kinds of hardware, such as CPU performance, Cache performance, Hard Disk performance, RAM performance, CD/DVD-ROM performance, Removable/FLASH Media performance, MP3 compression performance, Video performance.
