Speccy is a free system information utility for Windows. Developed by Piriform, this program goes beyond telling you how much RAM your computer has and what processor it is using. This small application acts like a virtual utility that tells you what kind of components are inside your PC. Unlike other free system utilities, this one is very comprehensive and detailed.
It is true that some system information is available on Windows, but it misses out on some of the most vital data, and Speccy has all of them covered. A comparison between Windows Device Manager and this program will show that Speccy has a lot more to offer. With the program you will get the facts and figures on all the hardware components in your computer including audio, optical drives, hard drives, RAM, motherboard and your CPU.
In addition to this, the application includes information on the temperature of each component so you will know if there is a problem with it. Overheating is one of the most common problems with computers today, so this will really come in handy.
Speccy has many advanced features that system and network administrators will like, but the program is easy enough for a casual computer user. It is easy to use, if you want to add more memory, you can use Speccy to find out how much RAM you have in your computer, and if there are memory slots left. This application is also useful for listing the specs in your PC in case you want to replace the components.
