Recently there was a post about how do you know if what you pay for is what you get when purchasing computers at places like Panthip.

In todays Bangkok Post DataBase section is a recommendation from Wanda Sloan for a program called Configinspector which can help answer this question.

You can download the installer free version (125KB), copy it to a floppy and just insert it into any computer you wish to check. Instead of having to work your way around various settings on a strange computer this program provides an amazing amount of information at your fingertips.

Key features of ConfigInspector

* Displays list of working applications;

* Displays list of working processes;

* Monitors the memory status;

* Monitors the CPU and network utilization;.

* Displays the full list of CPU capabilities;

* Displays important Windows OS parameters;

* Displays Windows Network parameters;.

* Displays HDD status and information;.

* Displays videocard information;

* Displayes soundcard information;

It only works On Windows 2000 and above.

Another small program that you could add to the floppy is CPU-Z which provides very detailed information on chipsets and memory specs. Need to run an installer for that one.

Thanks Highwayman for the heads-up.

cheers

...nice 1 highwayman...
