It works along the lines of other Windows utilities, however it tries to go beyond them and show you more of what's really going on. Giving the user the ability to draw comparisons at both a high and low-level. You can get information about the CPU, chipset, video adapter, ports, printers, sound card, memory, network, Windows internals, AGP, ODBC Connections, USB2, 1394/Firewire, etc.This new version also support multi-platform benchmark results (Win32 x86, Win64 IA64, WinCE ARM) with more to follow (Win64 AMD64; Win32 Alpha).
