In order to fully solve a problem, you must understand the problem first.Similarly, to properly decode system notifications, errors and bugs; you
must understand the system to an extent, beyond the scope of the
default Windows System Information facility.
The default utility categorizes system resources by compiling
information regarding hardware resources, components and software
environment variables. Sys Information,
on the other hand, is a system information utility relying on a smart
retrieval method, automatic update feature and comprehensive details
regarding system resources. It illustrates real-time processor and RAM
usage while providing details of drivers, task management and battery
utilities, coupled with the conventional component details in a user
friendly manner.
Upon
installation, you will be welcomed by a dashboard with categories
listed in the left sidebar , while the relevant details with
sub-categories and intricate details on the main workspace. Settings and
application information can be accessed by clicking the relevant
buttons at the top right corner of the main window.
The dashboard gives an overview of
the system resources with emphasis on the operating system, motherboard
and processor, RAM/Processor usage and miscellaneous details like
internet status, system uptime, boot update and the like. You can view
further details by clicking the relevant tabs on the sidebar.
The
settings window allows you to modify the interface, specify program
startup operations and check relevant variable monitors for report
creation. Clicking Create Report generates
a detailed summary of all aspects to your system, which can be saved in
rich text (rtf) or report (rept) formats. Remember, you can easily
reduce the reporting depth as per your requirements.
The
system drivers tab shows the driver source path, type (kernel or file
system driver) and start mode (manual, boot or system) for a better
insight to the driving force behind your system.
Keeping
check on both your processor and the active processes is sometimes a
life-saving action against non-responsive behavior of programs. Sys
Information provides you all details in this regard coupled with a
process manager with special focus on concurrent threads as well as
usual processes. From the Software tab, you can uninstall any installed
utility, easily.
Sys
Information is a collection of utilities covering the overlaps of the
Control Panel, Device Manager, Task Scheduler and the System Information
utilities. Although the application uses the S.M.A.R.T technology to
detect hard drive temperature for a better insight to the system
activity, I was unable to see any rise in my drive’s reported
temperature from 0 degree Celsius.
All
in all, Sys Information is an application that promises to add value to
your system analytics and troubleshooting capability. We tested this
utility on Windows 7, 64-bit edition. It supports Windows XP, Windows
Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.
