I have been using ADIA32 for years. I started using Everest and had been doing so since their beginning, I have to admit I was disappointed in their decision to not only cease support and development of Everest Home, but to drop it from their site altogether. I guess it's like the man says in the song it's all about M-O-N-E-Y.

Lavalys EVEREST is one of my favorite apps period. Tons of features and excellent GUI. Been a fan forever and it just keeps getting more comprehensive at every release. I recommend EVEREST Ultimate Edition for anyone wanting to know their computer inside and out, monitor sensors or even benchmark a few things.
So where is the EVEREST Ultimate Edition here at FileForum? Great software, worth the price. Until May 2007, coupon code V4EVEREST is good for 30% off a new license.

AIDA32, now Everest, was purchased by Lavalys early 2004 and ceased to be freeware at that point. I have never used the full version of Everest, but I understand it is excellent. The last free version of AIDA32 3.94.2 is still available on this site, and it is outstanding, but is no longer supported by the author Tamas Miklos.

I think better if they add options to update the software online by only downloading small part of the database so the software always update, but we did not need to download all the software and install it.
and also better if they create a versions where can run directly without installations. by that it will make easier to use.

Excellent program, and for the nitwits that are giving it low ratings because it's updated a lot or that they don't see why they need to look in their PC very often I'm sorry but those are really stupid comments. As someone pointed out the build number does not mean there have been that many versions released. Second just because YOU don't care what hardware is in your PC or care about monitoring it that doesn't mean other people don't. If you're going to rate a program make sure you don't do it for idiotic reasons.

PING ModderXManiac. You spoke just a day or so too soon. See http://fileforum.betanew...ail/AIDA32/1033800563/1 for AIDA32 v3.94.2 that FileForum has just posted. I don’t know where they found it but it is nice to see it back even though its home site is still down. Everest Home Edition is certainly very good at what it does but I, too, find that some functions of it are slowly disappearing as they update it. I am about to reinstall this new AIDA32 v3.94.2 alongside the latest Everest Home 2.01.369 Public Beta and make up my mind as to which I really like the best.
taxis reviewed v2.01.369 Public Beta on Jun 29, 2005
The campaign against this software is just ridiculous: This is a freeware application; I have not yet encountered a single bug (but quite a few with other hardware identifiers, even some which are not free); the information is quite useful, in my opinion.
If the low rates are not given by a single envious competitor, I dont understand why nobody gives a reason for it (except for ridiculous ones, like the functionality in the paid version is larger... - well, what else would one expect?).
ModderXManiac reviewed v2.01.369 Public Beta on Jun 27, 2005
Pardon me, otzi, but AIDA32 is no more.
If you have paid any attention to the homepage since April 19, 2004, you will have realized that the project leader has long since joined the EVEREST team. No wonder they dont update AIDA32, since the development team is GONE!
This program really needs some work. And the # of updates is unreal.

Unless you have brand new hardware that you need identified, don't upgrade. But do suggest upgrading to the paid version like I did - it's great! But this free version isn't that useful as it once was.

This software does exactly what it is supposed to do, and thats what you should rate here, and not if it is usefull for your personal use!
I help friends gettign their computers up to date and use this software to easily figure out what hardware they are using without opening the case, and then get the newest updates.
The constant updates on this software are a good thing. The updates are mostly adding more product information about newer hardware.
So don't hate this software if you have no idea on how to use it!
This software is better then f.e. SiSoft Sandra and it is free too!
Good Software, good programmer! 2 thumbs up!!!
Keep on going!

I'd rather use the corporate/ultimate edition. Its still much better than where the freeware version is headed.
Btw, this is what is mentioned on their site:
" All Home Edition users must register with Lavalys. It is strictly illegal to use EVEREST Home Edition in academic, government or non-profit organizations".... and "you certify that you are not a minor and that you agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions set out in this License."- This sucks. I know some kids out there who can teach a thing or two to most of the so called techies. This sort of licensing discorages even the use of the so called 'Freeware' products. WTF do they have against minors using freeware products?
This one was the last straw: " EXCEPT FOR EXPORT TO CANADA FOR USE IN CANADA BY CANADIAN CITIZENS, THE PROGRAM MAY NOT BE EXPORTED OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES OR TO ANY FOREIGN ENTITY OR FOREIGN PERSON AS DEFINED BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANYONE WHO IS NOT A CITIZEN, NATIONAL OR LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. BY AGREEING TO THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE YOU ARE WARRANTING TO LAVALYS THAT YOU ARE NOT A FOREIGN PERSON OR UNDER THE CONTROL OF A FOREIGN PERSON"..."If you are downloading this Product from the Web, to be eligible to download the Product you must be in compliance with applicable export laws"
But this one though was downright funny: " By accepting the EULA you are representing and warranting to Lavalys you are compliant with the following statements:"... "you are not listed in the United States Department of Treasury lists of Specially Designated Nationals, Specially Designated Terrorists, and Specially Designated Narcotic Traffickers,"... and (this ones a real gem) "you will not use the Product for, and will not allow the Product to be used for, any purposes prohibited by United States law, including, without limitation, for the development, design, manufacture or production of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons of mass destruction." :D Hey, looks like BinLaden cannot use Everest now.. what a shame...

Its a pity that the author of such a great program like AIDA had to end up like this.

I fully agree with Florestan! This used to be my favorite tool (as was AIDA32) for analyzing new systems. Since it has now been so effectively castrated, I now have to use at least 2 tools to get the same information; thus my rating.
Florestan reviewed v2.00.343 Beta on May 30, 2005
The free version of Everest started as a limited reincarnation of AIDA32, and now it is getting more and more limited and less and less useful. It seems that the 5 items that disappeared somewhere around 2.00.3xx (like Operating System, Config, and Software) are gone for good.
I am not sure if it is now better than the last version of AIDA32 (still available here at BetaNews), even with its updated database.
I would normally give it 4, but I'm giving it 2, because of the removed items.

This program is very handy for reporting system information which is otherwise difficult to find. I would like to see more output formats (xml) and the ability to log to an ODBC database connection (this might be in their pro or enterprise edition, I didn't look past the price tag). The links to the manufacturers web sites are a really nice feature. The omission of a change log makes me think they just do rebuilds to keep it in the spotlight. Regardless, this is a tight piece of software, and one of the few I recommend. Keep the home version free, expand the output formats, log to a database, and you'll get a 5 from me too. Nice work so far!

I have been wondering about Everest ever since I bought a new motherboard.
But build 273 finally recognizes my board (Gigabyte GA-K8NS-939) and finally reports the correct CPU temperaure.

one more time don't know what is new in that build...
Fiery reviewed v2.00.269 Beta on Feb 13, 2005
We do *not* advertise thru BetaNews -- we actually do not know who keeps posting the latest beta versions to BetaNews.
Sensor icons on the system tray: we'll have that soon in EVEREST :)
Raven Sati reviewed v2.00.269 Beta on Feb 12, 2005
I felt like the previous reviewer until I started using DTemp - which is free also and puts a degree reading of your hard disks in your system tray on startup which is way handier than checking that with everest - since DTemp I haven't bothered to install the 3x weekly "upgrades" - they are obviously just a way to use BetaNews for advertising their main product. A good program for basic info about your machine.

Just gets better and better,, favorite thing is the QUICK cpu temp, no hassle!

Nice freeware. I use it private, because I want buy a new pc. It shows me, what is inside - thanks.

Good program. I think I like Sandra better as it can have some nice random suggestions (along with some that are a little pointless), but this program is very clean and polished and helpful in it's own right. Since the last Sandra revision keeps crashing on my machine I tend to only use this one, but I usually like to keep both.
oakey reviewed v2.00.259 Beta on Feb 4, 2005
If you are a home user with a domain there is a simple way to make everest work. Simply run everest as a local user. This can be done either by logging into the machine as a local user, or with windows 2000 and xp's run as feature. When run this way every version that I have tried with that limitation, has not been limited.
This program has been very useful, especially if I am trying to find drivers for an unknown piece of hardware.
dzjepp reviewed v2.00.259 Beta on Feb 4, 2005
Why isn't the professional version updated as often as the free one?
Taomyn reviewed v2.00.251 Beta on Jan 28, 2005
When they finally get round their thick heads that home users also run domains, then I might bother with this. Pathetic.
waynebike reviewed v2.00.251 Beta on Jan 27, 2005
Yay! i got them to make a new build based off of my suggestion :)
Build 251 adds in HTT link speeds for single CPU AMD64 systems. Its located under Motherboard/Motherboard.
DiGiTaLFX reviewed v2.00.248 Beta on Jan 24, 2005
Brilliant program. I can now see improvement over AIDA32 which is nice. However can't score 5 stars because its lost its auto update function. That saved so much hassle.

These are beta builds, if you don't like the # number of them why don't you just stick with the offical releases. Those are only released about once every few months or more. For the record, MANY companies release very numerous beta builds in order for testers to find the bugs.
jofin reviewed v2.00.246 Beta on Jan 22, 2005
Quite a useful program in supplying lots of information.
However, I am absolutely exhausted trying to keep up with the updates. This for me spoils it. If the author reads this, why not try and only release yet another update when it is necessary or at least limit it to one per month. Updates every other day are not necessary if you are doing your job efficiently!
One other thing, the earlier reviewer was perfectly correct in asking for details of whats changed. At least if this was supplied, we could choose whether or not the update is necessary for our machine. Thanks.
If these are Beta releases for Beta testers then why are they not restricted to Beta testers? Cannot find any text relating to feedback!
By the way, I am aware that these are betas "duh", managed to work that one out for myself but, still far too many!
Fiery reviewed v2.00.235 Beta on Jan 18, 2005
Change list for the beta releases is available at:

As for the home domain issue: we were forced to implemented a method to block corporate/business users to use EVEREST Home Edition illegally for professional purposes like network audit.
Raven Sati reviewed v2.00.234 Beta on Jan 11, 2005
A really good basic data program. I used to use it on a regular, daily basis to see HDD temp. Now that I have DTemp running constantly in my system tray I don't use it so much.
Why won't they list the changes they have made with each release?
tom3311 reviewed v2.00.234 Beta on Jan 10, 2005
Everest provides info on everything you can desire to know about your PC...some things you'd never think to ask about! Great program...very stable, fast, and the reporting is awesome!
httpd.confused reviewed v2.00.233 Beta on Jan 8, 2005
Yeah, good point, Everest is one application you can install without worrying about your software hive tripling in size. All it saves is window size and position information.
It used to drive me nuts that Everest forced all my secondary hard drives out of sleep mode whenever I started it, by querying the S.M.A.R.T. status on all of them. Then, I set the "LowLevelSMART=" line in Everest.ini to "0" (also available under Preferences/Stability), and that problem was history. (Except that now, I can't use Everest to look at S.M.A.R.T. information! Which is fine.)
Everest is great for finding everything from your current system BIOS version, to the memory timings you should use, to your Windows product key, and everything in between.
mjm01010101 reviewed v2.00.233 Beta on Jan 7, 2005
I haven't used this program in about a year, but I just gave it a shot and it's still high quality software. Love that it doesn't touch the registry.

Yes, a really good FREEWARE tool. But, why create the authors in a very short distance a lot of Updates?
ghammer reviewed v2.00.229 Beta on Jan 3, 2005
One of the two I use!
The biggest difference between this and Belarc Advisor is the memory benchmarks in this tool. As I said either is excellent.
Dwarden reviewed v2.00.227 Beta on Jan 2, 2005
There is already v229 ... but these are specific beta versions sometimes released in short cycles ... anyway Everest Home is one of best in it's class ...
oakey reviewed v2.00.226 Beta on Dec 30, 2004
Actually they do list what changes have been made. You need to do a little bit of digging on their site, but if you go to the forums there is a section on Beta releases. This has the information about the updates. It can be found at the following url:

Raven Sati reviewed v2.00.226 Beta on Dec 23, 2004
maybe best freeware for finding specs on a stand alone machine. But they don't tell the changes when the new version is released. They are hiding what?
davygiven reviewed v1.52.224 Beta on Dec 22, 2004
I got version 2.00.220 Beta from this site a couple of weeks ago. Why is this one lower?
oakey reviewed v1.52.224 Beta on Dec 22, 2004
Works very well. Also it's very easy to get around the domain limitation. Simply log onto the computer as a local user and you can run the program just fine. Alternatively if you are running Windows 2000 or XP you can hold shift, then right click on the application and choose "Run As." As long as the program as run by using a local account, it will work just fine.
Metshrine reviewed v1.52.224 Beta on Dec 22, 2004
Great program, works wonderfully. Better with every release. And for those who complain about no Domain functionality for home users, its a limitation of the home version. Heaven forbid that a company want to save some features for a pro version ;-)
dtanderson reviewed v1.52.224 Beta on Dec 22, 2004
This version also suffers from needing the pro version if you are on a domain. No free use for home users running a domain....
alister reviewed v1.52.223 Beta on Dec 21, 2004
No domain support in this version only the pro version?? What happened to free for personal/home use? "Fix coming in 2005", well based on the current version I will have to give it a low rating because it will not work in my home environment.

The fix/workaround for small home domain is coming early 2005 (Fiery said it) ... so there is hope :)
Raven Sati reviewed v1.52.223 Beta on Dec 21, 2004
If sensor could run transparent on the desk top it would be more user friend. Still it is good for basic information.
dtanderson reviewed v1.52.223 Beta on Dec 20, 2004
I liked it better when it was AIDA32 because it was free. If you have a small domain at home you will not be able to use the free version of this, you will have to buy the pro version. If you run this on your home computer that is logging into a domain you will get the message that you need to buy the pro version. I am very disappointed with this.
Nigma reviewed v1.52.220 Beta on Dec 17, 2004
It is AIDA32 but the name is changed :)
Anyway I thought that Home edition is freeware but I was wrong. You see after some time i got this message that my PC is connected to LAN and Internet (which is true) and I must use pro version becouse of LAN and that's it - Home Edition doesn't start anymore :(
So 3 stars now. Everest is the best but I got mad at what happened.

Home edition will not run on a computer that belongs to a network domain, as it assumes it is being used in a corporate environment.
That said, I have used everest (AIDA32) for many years and found it to be an invaluable tool.

Nice software. It detects hardware fast and accurately. It did call one of my auxilliary fans the "power supply fan", but I think that must be a typo. I really like the memory benchmark and would like to see benchmarks for all subsystems, not just RAM. An overall benchmark score for comparing computers and overclocking would be nice too.
