SystemInfo

This freeware is a basic system information gathering utility that falls far short of similar tools. SystemInfo's multitab text-only interface is just a simple display of collected data. An advanced menu is disabled, but five information tabs control all displayed data. This is a simple click and display data program. Users are expected to understand all data listed without any further information or guidance. There is a help function but it merely displays the publisher URL and copyright information.

SystemInfo's data set is very basic. You'll find the usual memory, operating system, and processor information. Some BIOS data is included, but there is no mention of the motherboard's manufacturer. SystemInfo does make it simple to save all collected data to a text file, but there is no method to compare systems or a system over multiple dates.

Some testers reported that SystemInfo incorrectly reported total memory, but other data were correct. Such a basic tool may be easy to run, but users will learn little from the thin presentation. We suggest you look at the numerous other freeware options that provide more useful or contextual system data.
