Another tool from Piriform (CCleaner, Recuva, Defraggler)

Cheers Brian

It's still beta, so probably only some graphics cards will show up at the moment.

Picks up my 260 at home no problem, and my ati 2350 in work

Crashes on my win7 x64 Pro install

Has any one tried it on a driverless install yet?

just tried it on a bare naked win2008 install. it doesn't recognise my graphics card properly (in sig) and it doesn't recognise my sound card either (audigy2).

edit: and after driver installation.....

Cool tool but it does not list my Q9550's actual CPU speed, it displays the rated speed 2.8GHz for example but not the actual (3.5GHz).

Aren't there loads of system profilers about already?

mrk · 12 Nov 2009 at 14:33

Everest is probably the best Profiler out there although it is a pretty in depth suite and not a dedicated utility - they also have freebie license giveaways and the beta versions are zipped executables.

I currently use everest, but it's a bit bulky, was hoping this could read hardware ID's and give the info

Maybe it's something they're working on, I should sign up to their forums to suggest it

Will take a look. CCleaner is great but I don't use Defraggler as I found Mydefrag better.

Speaking of CCleaner, I had a record removal amount today

19GB of temp files! Beat that

I like Piriform but I'm not sure this gives us anything original.

Agreed.

But I must say, it's astounding the amount of free software that's out there.

Greenlizard0 · 13 Nov 2009 at 17:09

Is this as good as the free PC Wizard?

Oh dear, I'm losing it.

I actually tried to scroll downwards.

Agreed, although it is neat, tidy and user friendly, just like every Piriform product.

Yes - a much, much simpler interface than others. Portable version too, I don't think I know of any that provide such a feature? (Been a while since I've had to use one).

doesnt detect my 4870 either! POS!

Columbo · 15 Nov 2009 at 09:30

It wont pickup the graphics card in my HTPC (Sapphire 4670 on WinXP 32bit), just sticks at analyzing.

Other than that everything looks fine.

Mr.Nick · 15 Nov 2009 at 10:43

Hey quick slightly off topic question, I notice that it says my GeIL is running at 400MHz, shouldn't they be at 800MHz each? They should be running at 1.8v, at least Speccy says so.

Other than this, it detected everything fine except my 4870

Fegruson · 15 Nov 2009 at 11:19

Yea, I noticed it detected my RAM at half the speed it was running at. Odd

Scream · 15 Nov 2009 at 13:05

If I am not mistaken, its still in beta isn't it so if that is the case, the memory problem might be down to a clitch that is yet to be fixed.

Geek. · 15 Nov 2009 at 13:21

i think they need to fix some things before i download it!
