prathapml Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 You want to know what is the hardware you have in your PC, right?You can get a comprehensive detail of your configuration (System Specifications), download Everest Home Edition from this link: Everest.Then, open the program (Everest), and click "Computer >> Summary".

prathapml Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Well, this post is more of a FYI:Everest home edition is nothing but the resulting product of a take-over by Lavalys Consulting Group of the makers of the old (and popular) "AIDA-32" diagnostic utility suite.This has been posted, so that you don't wonder what happened to AIDA, and why there's no new release of it since a long time - because "Everest" is *THE* new version of AIDA itself. But the sad thing in the above seems to be that Everest isn't available as a 16-bit version app (for DOS), unlike how AIDA-16 used to be developed.

Skyfrog Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I like Everest, but there is also one called Belarc Advisor which is good for seeing what versions of software and patches are installed on your machine. It opens the results as an html page in your browser.http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanislavs Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Maybe he's PC goes slow because of limited system resources. Every Windows 98 has that problem. Try disabling some startup items. The less programs you run in taskbar, the faster Windows 98 will run.Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and end tasks to as much programs as you can, except for Explorer.
