CPU-Z 1.88

CPU-Z is one of the most well-known pieces of tech online for looking at your computer's specifications. If you ever wanted to look at what your computer can do specifically, there's little else as good as this one. As soon as you boot it up, it generates a list of information on each of your computer components in separate tabs and tells you just about as much as you'd ever want to know about them.

For example, even though I consider myself relatively well-versed in computer lingo, I was surprised to find information on my CPU that I hadn't heard of. This program told me not only exactly what my CPU's clock speed was, but also its multiplier and bus speed. For my memory, it didn't just tell me what size and the length of the cycle time, it also told me what the row refresh cycle time and command rate was. I barely understand these statistics even after googling them extensively. There's a wealth of information here that any technophile would love, presented all in one tiny little window.

On top of that, it can also act as a Benchmark program for your CPU. It does exactly what it says it does. The only downside to this program is how it has no extra features, but that's a tiny price to pay when its goal is to present all the information on your PC as succinctly and quickly as possible. Anyone who wants a quick read on their system information practically must download the CPU-Z. Best of all, it's completely free.
