I wanted to upgrade the Physical Memory (RAM) on one of the Windows Server and wanted to know the make/model/type of the RAM installed. I couldn't find any command or tool in Windows Operating System which could give me this information. I also didn't want to go to the Data Center and shutdown the server to get these details by physically looking at the Hardware.
There are several occasions when you want a central place where you can get all the information related to your hardware, software and network. Unfortunately, Windows System Properties & Device Manager doesn't help. Many other third party softwares also doesn't serve the purpose to a greater extent and moreover you have to pay for it.
I came across a very good software called System Information for Windows SIW . The software utility builds a detailed profile of your installed software, hardware and network and can create report in various formats.
SIW is very fast in retrieving both the constant information (OS Version, Software installed, Hardware Manufacturers, Models etc) the dynamic information (Opened files, running processes, network connections, hardware sensors etc).
The other advantages are that its a standalone utility and doesn't need to be installed. You can even run the utility from USB Flash drive or a floppy/network drive. Also, its supported on all Windows Platform. Moreover, the software is absolutely free.
This software utility could be very handy and useful in managing Software & Hardware Inventory, Asset Management, PC Auditing and for Compliance reasons. Its a great and must have tool for Administrators. You can find a complete review of the software here at Softpedia.
You can download the latest version of the software from here
