Fresh Diagnose
By Randy Esdon, The Greater Victoria Personal Computer Users' Association.
I was looking for a freeware piece of software that would give me detailed information about my system. The best freeware software that I found was Fresh Diagnose v3.25. You can download it from the following site: www.freshdevices.com/. Fresh Diagnose is a complete and comprehensive tool for diagnosing and benchmarking your computer. It supplies information about the hardware and software systems of your computer, the multimedia system, devices installed in it, and its resources. Also included, are several benchmark tests to find out the reliability and the exact capability indices of your hardware. It also supports printing and saving in multiple formats: plain-text, html, rtf and doc. Features included in Fresh Diagnose:     Information modules: Operating System, Advanced Power Monitor, CMOS, User and Local Info, Timezone, Shell Folders, Engines, Fonts, System Files, Workstation, Processor, Resources, Processes,	Memory, Drives, Display Adapters, Keyboard, Mouse, Printers, Ports, Plug and Play, Internet Settings, Network, Winsock, Internet Explorer, Multimedia Devices, MCI, DirectX, DirectDraw, DirectSound, Interrupt Requests (IRQ's), DMA Channels, Ports I/O, and Memory Resources. Benchmark modules:     Processor Benchmark, Multimedia Benchmark, Memory Benchmark, Hard disk Benchmark, CD Benchmark, and Network Benchmark.     The software has been tested under Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Millennium, Windows 2000, and should work in later version of Windows. If you're interested to know what's in your machine, give this a look. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the details this program conjures up.
