BenchMarX

When it comes to getting detailed information about their computer, not many people know exactly where to look, as they get confused and overwhelmed by the many windows and menus.

The same thing can be said about assessing the speed of their PC, since it is hard to quantify the CPU or RAM performance without a specialized app. And this is where BenchMarX can come in handy.

The GUI of the software utility is kept as traightforward as possible, so as to enable both novices and experts to effortlessly locate the information they require.

More precisely, those who are only interested in exploring details about their PC can access the System Info section and view the machine and user names, along with various data about the BIOS.

Info about the chipset, vendor, memory or system slots is also available, as well as the date of the last boot and the PC uptime (i.e. for how it has been running).

When accessing the Processor section, users get data about the number of CPU cores, the cache and the model, while the features are neatly shown in a list.

If users want to get a clear view about the overall performance of their PC, they can open the Benchmarks section and examine how their processor, video card and RAM performs as compared to some other provided configurations.

BenchMarX can also be used by those who want to optimize their computers by uninstalling some programs, scanning the registry for errors or cleaning the hard disk.

This nifty application can be of great use to all those who want to evaluate the computer once in a while, just to make sure its performance is still high.
