FreshDiagnose – Benchmark and Diagnose A Computer

FreshDiagnose is a small, free utility designed to help you diagnose and benchmark a computer. It can display much of the standard information that applications like SIW display such as software, hardware, devices, network and multimedia information. However, FreshDiagnose shows a lot of information that SIW does not, making it the perfect partner for SIW, which is probably already in your utility kit.

The information that FreshDiagnose will list is far too extensive to list here, so I am going to list some of the features that FreshDiagnose does but SIW doesn’t.
