GetSystemInfo1.4

Needless to say that the better the hardware components, the more performance you’re able to squeeze out of your computer. Windows lets you find out general details about your computer, with DirectX also showing useful info as well. There are also third-party alternatives like GetSystemInfo which aim to provide them in greater detail, and a better organized environment.

Rough visual design

The application first takes you through a simple, effortless setup process so it can integrate in your system to be able to read all data. It’s also a good idea to run it with administrator privileges to prevent any possible compatibility issues, but it’s generally not the case.Truth be told, the overall visual design is rather rough, even though it’s wrapped around a simple window frame, and a clean layout shows buttons, functions, and gathered data. Each type of info brings up its own window, and you can also save the set of details under a picture of BMP format to a location of choice.

Can’t properly read and show info

Overall system info is the topmost category, showing Windows drive state and space related details, language, processor architecture, number of CPUs, computer name, and accumulator status in case you’re running it on a laptop.A couple more details sets can be obtained. On the one hand, video card info displays the installed driver, available memory, and driver DLL location, while the RAM info provides memory usage details. On the other hand, the application might not be able to properly read details, especially on modern Windows iterations, or ends up in a crash when accessing specific detail sets.

To conclude

All in all, the better you know your computer, the more chances to wisely pick the tools and games you install and run on it. GetSystemInfo wants to help by providing hardware component information. Unfortunately, it’s not quite tweaked to properly read info on modern Windows iterations, which has a major impact on practicality.
