Great for what it does and the price. It's best to just try it yourself. *to PostDeals: Ratings should be based on your experience with the program. Don't give it a lower score due to a corrupted link. That doesn't even have anything to do with the people who made the program let alone how good the program is. (link isn't corrupted now)

So many morons abound here.... and we're only 1/5 the population size of China & India-- no wonder so many want to migrate to escape them... there is nothing wrong with this program: it's peachy keen.

Excellent program just like their Hmonitor, does all for free with minimal bloat or drama.

Man, my belly hurts. I took some Pepto but I'm not sure that'll help. So far I cleared the room twice. It was kinda funny but now I think they know it's me. Yeah, she made a comment about an egg smell. No. The dr says I have to deal with it until they get the results back. Should be a week. No, just the squirts. It's constant. I've been off of work since the incident when I had an accident. It's been 2 weeks now. Yeah, later dude.

Update: I just installed a new video card and it still locks up on Global Benchmark. I didnt think it would change anything, just thought I would retest it. Funny that it worked great as version 1.84 (which I now use) and locks up with 1.85. If it was driver or compatability issues why didnt it happen with 1.84? This version locks up when I try and do a Global Benchmark. I have no problems with version 1.84. Version 1.85 reads my core temps, with my E8400, @ 27°/26°. Speed fan reads 42°/41° (so does HWMonitor) and Real Temp reads 32°/31°. Version 1.84 shows 42°/41°.

hmmm .....whoever wrote (can't remember right offhand )..that "pcwiz. is a pos.".........i hate to break it to you , but that's either billy boy (windows).......or the way you setup your comp. i have it on both mine , mom's ...(anyone's who email's me for help ) i tell to get it so they know the info i need to help them ....etc .etc. etc..all the one's i work on for people ..-i think the point is made-.....i have had a lockup or two on various comps. too..and am NOT so quick to blame pcw , the vast majority of the time , if it is not some downloaded crapware drivers interfereing . it is just, as i said , the inherant tweakiness of windows.....FANTASTIC. program that has saved not only myself, but MANY others i have been able to help through the detailed info on all the billions of friggin numbers one needs to get anywhere with helping someone over the net. ( most people dunno pc3200 from 20 gig )......pcw has been of VAST help . you can just tellem download .tell me what it says in "x".....on "x" page....and there ya go on anything from a pretty vicious system like my primary (asus a8n sli- premium / athlon fx-60 running 2.8 (at 40c -hehhehheh) and 2 gigs pc3200 )....to some poor limpalong critter from the jurrassic age.....had VERY few problems.....and a LOT ! ...of valuable info =assistance.......ummmm......for free ?.....how ya gonna gripe about that ?

No Graphics Displays for the benchmarking tabs. With the last few updates I had skewed graphics, now none at all. The only version that works for me seems to be 1.84. I've had problems with all the updates since then.

Sometimes I learn things the hard way: install this thing, run it, froze machine (while "reading sensor"), power off, restart, UNINSTALL, forget it.

Goes deeper for info than your default program. Too slow for me. (vista home premium w? 2000mhz) Seems to (eventually) come through with it's information, now all you need is a spec manual to figure out what your reading (that is if you can interpret spec manuals).. Why don't they explain these things in layman's terms? After all that's how they interpret them THEN they apply jargon that was substituted for these layman terms in the institution they were trained in.. Why not go one step farther and interpret the interpretation they were trained to interpret? Oh, I get it.. That was another class..

"awesome product-easily readable" absolutely great. it lists everything on your computer, depending on what opton you pick. i love the performance scan!!!!!!! thank u, cnet for a great product none as far as i can see, & we have a very, very old desktop. it explains everything in detail, quite plainly & easy to understand

"More of a step back then forward..." Gives you just about everything you need to know about your computer and more! For some reason it no longer tells which 4800 series gpu I have. It also doesn't show my muti-cores seperate anymore. The desktop monitor shows less information then before. A step backwards if you ask me. If you have the 2008 version hang on to it! This new version isn't as good.

"Answers the questions i need answered." Gives me all the info I need. None, I'm too old to tell. It just works for me.
