I always am looking for new tools or utilities to help me with my day to day tasks; be it at work, or at home. I found one that was great for what I needed it for, but looks like it has a ton of information and this needed to be shared!

System Spec is a freeware program written by Alex Nolan. He has a could of other things at his site as well worth checking out I am sure.

I used the program simply to gather some system information quickly from my MCE machine for my last post. The information that was gathered was easy to extract. There are numerous export formats including HTML, CSV and a printout to name a few.

An excerpt from their website reads as follows:

“With System Spec you can see, save and print a complete spec of your PC. This no-install, system information utility can also perform various windows functions. Additional advanced info includes CPU, drives, applications, display, memory, networking, internet, CD / DVD drives and more.”

Read through their list of what the program can do, you will be pleasantly surprised.

After using it and poking around the other options after I had what I needed I started to think of what uses it might have. One of the things I like to do is keep track of all my hardware (I am currently running 7 computers at my house) for insurance purposes. This would be a quick way along with some photos to keep track of exactly what you have. Good for home use sort of the way a corporation would have an automated asset tracking software installed on their company PC’s.

Happy freeware hunting!
