Review Of Everest Free Edition
As more and more features get crammed in to computers everyday it gets a difficult to keep track of all the small hardware components. Windows provides the various system information in several different places. But there is no one place which gathers the hardware, software and peripherals information in a report or a list. For getting a detailed inventory of any system I have been using Everest.
Everest Home Edition “offers the world’s most accurate system information and diagnostics capabilities, including online features, memory benchmarks, hardware monitoring, and low-level hardware information. Everest does its job as advertised packed in a tiny package ( less than 4MB).
Keep in mind that the company making this product is no longer giving away the free version. The old version is still available from Major Geeks. But I would recommend getting the new Ultimate Edition for about $40. When you first install Everest it will run a 40 point report which covers pretty much everything. It gives you a detailed list which can be saved to a file, emailed or printed.
If you wish to see this information in real time without generating the 40-point report everytime, head to the Everest Home Edition application window which has sections that you can click and see stats. It even shows you the current CPU and hard disk temperatures (depending on what sensors came prebuilt with your machine).
Everest free edition also provides a handful of benchmarking utilities memory read, write and latency. It might be useful if you are having memory leak issues or if you really want to check memory usage.
