PC Wizard 2008 Software


Introduction


            PC Wizard has been considered as one of the most advanced system information program that is available in the market since 1996 (CPUID x86 technical resources 2008). A system analyzer is often ignored as the toy of PC modding extremist, but the truth is that these applications are very efficient at scrutinizing and breaking down PC as well as giving the fact about the performance of a PC. The main plans and goals of the PC Wizard are to investigate and discover the inside of the computer system and eventually give the user a whole and absolute low down about the details of computer’s strengths and weaknesses (Roger 2008).


PC Wizard 2008


            PC Wizard 2008 is a powerful utility that is designed particularly for the detection of hardware that is used for deeper analysis. It does the process of identifying a large scale of different system components as well as maintains and sustains the latest technologies and standards (CPUID x86 technical resources 2008). It is considered as excellent software that enables the user to know more about his or her computers. It shows the minimum details about the hardware, configuration, system files, resources as well as the proving standard.


Features of PC Wizard 2008


Hardware Information


            PC Wizard 2008 has reveals all the basic details about the information about the hardware of a computer such as the ports, drivers as wells as the processors (Softonic 2008). In addition to that, it also handles different information about the following:

System Information


            PC Wizard 2008 is also good in revealing different information about the system information of a computer. Another feature of the said software is that it analyzes the different system files as well as investigating about the configuration of elements such as the Internet connection and the control panel (Roger 2008). The following are the system information that is handled by the software.

System Benchmarks


            PC Wizard 2008 is also a self-respecting system analyzer that serves as a benchmarking tool. Benchmarking tool is considered as the advantage of the software. It enables the user of the system to inspect everything from the processors to cache, together with the details about the RAM and the multimedia like the DirectX as well as the compression of mp3s and videos (Roger 2008).


            In addition to that, for easy retrieval and understanding of the user, the system offers two types of results display or presentation. First is the list result of the information and the understandable graphs (Roger 2008).


            The following are the system benchmarks that are being measured by the system:



            In addition to that, the system also offers benchmarks in memory and cache as well as the processors. The system measures the maximum achievable memory bandwidth of the system’s memory and cache. It uses a code that is written in Assembly language such as x86, SSE or Streaming SIMD Extensions, SSE2, SSE3. The benchmarking of the memory makes use of one core processor as well as one thread (CPUID x86 technical resources 2008).


The system benchmarks the processors by measuring its performance based on the Integer Millions of Instruction Per Second or the Integer MIPS as well as the Millions of Floating Point Operations Per Second or MFLOPS. Just like the benchmarking in cache and memory, it also uses code that is written in Assembly languages. It is considered as HyperThreading, multi-processor or SMP and multi-core or CMP aware (CPUID x86 technical resources 2008).


Tools


            PC Wizard 2008 is also capable of printing as well as emailing a report. It can also save different types of documents such as TXT, RTF, HTML, PDF and even CSV for its reporting procedure. In addition to that it can also export different graphic types such as bmp or bitmap, and also has a capability to export texts and graphics, using the clipboard. Furthermore, it also has a built in web update wizard and has the ability to communicate, directly to the motherboard monitor. It can also dump such as hardware registers, System BIOS, video BIOS and the likes (CPUID x86 technical resources 2008).


Multi-Language


            The first versions of the PC Wizard offer two languages, which are English and German. PC Wizard 2008 handles or offers seven different languages: English, French, German, Serbian, Slovak, Russian and Greek. It enables the system to communicate to its user in more efficient and easy way by making them choose the language that can make them more comfortable.
