Some of you may have already heard about and probably even use programs from Piriform.

They have recently released a new program called Speccy which is still in BETA but looks good and could give CPU-Z and SiSandra a run for their money.

Speccy is an advanced System Information tool for your PC.

Check is out here.

Looks pretty good but the overview is less compact then CPU-z, and I can't seem to find voltage on the CPU tab, should be there definitely

if you have to install it then i dont see it replacing cpuz gpuz

the thing i love about those programs is you can just run click open with > get results.

no need for wasted directories for a program thast doesnt warrant an install

I share your thought that cpu-z without an installer is nice, it's ok... but saying a program that needs an installer can't replace a program without an installer is not even an argument in my book.

Let's just give it some space to grow and see how it does...

I'm still a big fan of cpuz and gpuz. This Looks quite nice though, but can't find the voltages either.

There are actually 2 versions on the site, one of them being a "zipped portable" version that doesn't need to be installed.

A slight bug I noticed, if you run it and click on hard drives then click on something else it still continuously analyzes the HD's and I can here them clicking

im not saying it cant replace but it will have a harder job doing so.

i doubt im the only one who likes to keep a nice tidy os , cpuz is the type of program i would very rarely use so having it installed would just seem pointless , i could see myself running ccleaner and uninstalling it
