Speccy - Get to know your computer in detail

The average user usually only knows what the CPU speed is, how much RAM it has, what the label is on the graphics card, and how much the HDD is… But he doesn't know some perhaps more important details.

Speccy is a program that will reveal these details and you will have a complete insight into all the components that are inside your machine.

After the usual installation, run the program and wait a few seconds to search all the components. After that, you can see the basic details of these components, and clicking on one will open a new page where you can find all the information in the smallest details.

Speccy - Get to know your computer in detail

For example, I opened the details for the GT 520 graphics card. Now, we can see how much that card has its own memory, who is the manufacturer, temperature, GPU, DirectX support, OpenGL support, and even voltage and whether it produces noise in operation. You will not hear all this information from the seller, you will only know which one is graphic, and possibly how much memory it has.

You can also check the Processor, HDD, OS, Memory (RAM), Motherboard, Optical Drive, Sound Card, Peripherals, and Network. Everything in the smallest detail. If you are not an expert in hardware components, I believe you will not know what half of this information means, but you can easily find what you need.

The program is completely free and takes up a little more than 4MB and you can download it from the following link:  http://www.filehippo.com/download_speccy

Mobile Browsers

The Internet on mobile devices is becoming more popular and has more and more users. As mobile internet expands, so do mobile browsers.

Sony Xperia Z5 Dual Sim review [video + images]

The Xperia Z5 is another great flagship model from the Z family of devices that Sony launched in September this year, about a month ago. The case design is great . The side edges are slightly curved to make the phone fit better in the hand, and the back of the device has a fine finish so there are no glare and fingerprints.
