Dr. Hardware

Dr. Hardware is a lightweight software application that helps users obtain important information about core hardware and the devices connected to your computer, as well as get relevant data about resources and operating systems.

The GUI is straightforward and gives users the possibility to view comprehensive details about the processor (e.g. clock rate, technology, thermal sensor, cache information), mainboard (e.g. vendor, model, memory), SDRAM memory modules (e.g. density, voltage type, timing), sensors (voltages, temperature), SMBIOS data about system configuration, chipsets, as well as the installed PCI devices.

Dr. Hardware lists all currently installed drives and offers additional information about them by displaying the free or used space, total capacity, and free capacity in diagrams, and let you obtain data about video adapters (e.g. memory, mode, description, attributes), as well as generate lists with ASPI and EIDE/ATAPI devices.

Plus, you can gather information about mouse, keyboard, USB devices, modems, printers, multimedia devices, scanners, and cameras.

Dr. Hardware provides information about the installed Windows version including serial number, key, boot and autorun options, system parameters, file types, input devices, system files, applications that have uninstall support, cookies, browser cache files and recent documents, as well as network and security data.

The application also shows the running processes, and let you build statistics about memory and network transfers, as well as the usage of hard disks and network drives.

Another important feature worth mentioning allows you perform benchmark tests for measuring the performance of processor, memory, chipset, hard disk drives via API32 calls, CD ROM and DVD drives, as well as ASPI/SCSI/ATAPI devices.

It is possible to view the results in database tables, which allows users to insert comments, and add or delete table entries, create reports and save them to HTML, RTF, CSV, or plain text format, and perform keyboard tests.

You can make the program run at Windows startup, remain on top of other utilities, sort diagram data points according with their value, and enable the 3D benchmark charts.

Dr. Hardware is a handy application that suits advanced users, as rookies may spend some time trying to configure the dedicated parameters.
