On the hardware part AIDA64 lists the components on the motherboard, shows up the video gear on the system (monitor and adapter), storage and input devices as well as the set of peripherals.ĭouble clicking on each of the entries takes you deeper into the specifications of the selected entry, but you can also skip directly to any of the listed components by using the side panel.Īs it is also built to assist you in your overclocking endeavors, the program can also help you compare the overclocked CPU speed with the original one. Thus, under “Computer” menu you will be able to view a summary giving you the running operating system and any service packs installed, computer name, version of Internet Explorer and DirectX available. And the choices are plenty as AIDA64 manages to provide a wide array of details, which run from general info about the entire system to comprehensive notes on every piece of hardware building up your computer. There are 15 modules, each with its set of submenus. Given the amount of information available in the program a simple program window that allows you to jump from menu to menu Windows Explorer-style is the wisest choice.Ī list of all the menus is present in the left hand part of the application window.
As expected, looks have been set aside in favor of functionality and ease of use. In fact, the interface pops pretty fast after launching the software. CPU, memory and disk benchmarks are also off its feature list.ĪIDA64 Extreme Edition installs quickly and does not require too much to load up. But it lacks several hardware monitoring components, like thermal alerts, or logging of sensor values. On the other hand, Business version shows remote abilities such as monitoring and control as well as command-line automation, SQL database output or software audit with File Scanner. There are three editions of the application, Extreme Edition, Extreme Engineer and Business, the first one being the cheapest of all and not differing in features from the second, except for the fact that it cannot be used commercially. Unlike other software of the same feather, AIDA64 Extreme Edition comes at the price of $39.95, but the features it ushers in are worth every penny. With AIDA64 things are a bit more complicated as the suite offers complete information about both hardware and software available on the system as well as a benchmark component to test system stability and hardware performance. Moreover, most of the apps in this category are freebies. When we’re talking about system information utilities, there is no shortage of such software on the Internet.
