Speccy from Piriform

Greetings of peace :), here's a new tool for you to see what inside of your computer.

Speccy is an application from Piriform that lets you see thoroughly the hardware components of your computer and the running services on your computer.

I have taken a screenshot of Speccy so that you can see it :).

You have the information displayed there, your operating system, central processing unit, random access memory, motherboard, and many other.

One thing I like with Speccy  is the temperature status, the one with the number and the Degree Celsius sign (C), it let's you know the current temperature reading of your hardware component, actually I figured it out that the unit can be change to Fahrenheit and also the language, you can change it in View>Option, then a small window will pop out :), just change whatever you want to.

The screenshot I have shot above is just the overview, there are a lot more to see about your computer on the left side of the Speccy window, from graphics, hard drive, audio, optical drives, peripherals and network, if you try to click that you will be presented with a much more detailed information about your computer, the next time your friends ask you the specification of your computer, you can answer them with the help of Speccy, with Speccy your friends will know that you aren't noob at all :).

One thing more is that you can do snapshot of your computer's specification then save, export to xml, and publish it, this will help you when you are having some problem with your computer, you can send your Speccy saved file or publish it to your friends or technical support representative to help them see your computer's needs. Here's a snapshot of it :).
What's best about Speccy is that it's free to download, but if you want some support from them you can opt to pay :). You can download it at Speccy.Piriform.Com

Here are some words from Piriform, why you need Speccy :).

"Why do I need Speccy?
At first glance, Speccy may seem like an application for system administrators and power users. It certainly is, but Speccy can also help normal users, in everyday computing life.
If you need to add more memory to your system, for example, you can check how many memory slots your computer has and what memory's already installed. Then you can go out and buy the right type of memory to add on or replace what you've already got.
If you're going to be selling your PC, you can use Speccy to quickly list out the components. Or, if you're buying a PC, you can use Speccy to check that the computer has what the label says it has.
Also, Speccy comes in handy for support. If you're on the phone with technical support and they want to know what video card you have installed, there's no need to hunt around Windows. Speccy has all the information on one easy-to-understand screen."
