Since 1994 Dr. Hardware is among the leading system information programs on the market. Unlike other system information tools that are operating under Windows, Dr. Hardware gets its results not only by inquiring registry settings but also through BIOS calls and I/O port accesses. The program's main features include:
Detailed analysis of computers and their components
Sensor detection and reporting (voltage, temperature, fan rotation)
VGA, AGP test (Chipset, DirectX analysis, VESA modes, driver capabilities)
DDC monitor test
Benchmarks (CPU, video, hard disks, CD ROM, ASPI drives, Net drives)
