CPU-Z is a freeware system profiler (system monitor) application for Microsoft Windows (for all versions from 95 on) that detects the central processing unit, RAM, motherboard chipset, and other hardware features of a modern personal computer, and presents the information in one window. CPU-Z is more in-depth in some areas than the features that Windows XP provides to identify various hardware components, and is thus needed to identify certain components without opening the case, especially the core revision and RAM clock rate. »

Speccy is an advanced System Information tool for your PC, available as installer version and as portable version in 24 languages. It does a quick scan of your machine and gives you a complete rundown of every piece of gear thats in your computer.

Also known as palimpsest, gnome-disk-utility provides libraries and applications for dealing with storage devices.

I-Nex is an application that gathers information for hardware components available on your system and displays it using an user interface similar to the popular Windows tool CPU-Z.

Hardinfo is a system information and benchmark tool for Linux. It shows detailed system info, including hardware, environment, and kernel. It can use lm_sensors and ACPI for temperature and battery information. It also has four CPU banchmarks and two FPU benchmarks. It can generate reports as well.

Psensor is a graphical hardware temperature monitor for Linux. It can monitor the temperature of the motherboard and CPU sensors (using lm-sensors), the temperature of the NVidia GPUs (using XNVCtrl), the temperature of ATI/AMD GPUs, the temperature of the Hard Disk Drives (using hddtemp or libatasmart), the rotation speed of the fans (using lm-sensors), the CPU usage (since 0.6.2.10 and using Gtop2).

lshw (Hardware Lister) is a small tool to provide detailed information on the hardware configuration of the machine. It can report exact memory configuration, firmware version, mainboard configuration, CPU version and speed, cache configuration, bus speed, etc. on DMI-capable x86 or EFI (IA-64) systems and on some PowerPC machines.

cpuid dumps detailed information about the CPU(s) gathered from the CPUID instruction, and also determines the exact model of CPU(s).

hwinfo is a program developed by OpenSUSE. hwinfo is used to probe for the hardware present in the system. It can be used to generate a system overview log which can be later used for support.

Dmidecode reports information about your system's hardware as described in your system BIOS according to the SMBIOS/DMI standard. This information typically includes system manufacturer, model name, serial number, BIOS version, asset tag as well as a lot of other details of varying level of interest and reliability depending on the manufacturer. This will often include usage status for the CPU sockets, expansion slots (e.g. AGP, PCI, ISA) and memory module slots, and the list of I/O ports (e.g. serial, parallel, USB).

Creates a list of attached disks without root privileges (similar as ldisk -lu, but with extensive device information).

Uses information in sysfs (Linux kernels 2.6.0 and later) to list all scsi devices (or hosts) currently attached to the system. Options can be used to control the amount and form of information provided for each device.

SysInfo Detector : This program to gather information of your computer configuration. It allows you to detect your hardware devices, their type, model, and other information, even if the system has no drivers. This is possible not only thanks to collecting of the information from the Windows registry, but also thanks to interrogating the devices directly in hardware.

AMD64 CPU Assistant monitors the temperature of AMD64 CPU cores (AMD64 K8 processor on Socket 754/S1/940/F1207/939/AM2/ASB1/S1g1) using the on-die thermal sensor.It also shows info about CPU and memory (load, timings, voltage, technical details) and includes a task manager.
