Geek Software of the Week: CPU-Z

Leave a comment

CPU-Z is a freeware that gathers information on some of the main devices of your system. Have you ever needed info on what motherboard you have, what CPU? Planning an upgrade, but don’t want to “crack the case” to find out exactly what you are running? Well, here you go!

CPU-Z Utility

“CPU-Z does not need to be installed. Just unzip the files in a directory and run the .exe. In order to remove the program, just delete the files, and that’s it. The program does not copy any file in any Windows directory, neither writes in the registry. CPU-Z uses a configuration file, cpuz.ini, that allows to set several parameters for the program. The cpuz.ini file must be in the same directory as cpuz.exe.”

Try it… you’ll like it!
