Publisher's Description
Speccy is an advanced System Information tool for your PC. What's in your computer? If you're like most of us, you can probably name the processor (Intel or AMD, Celeron or Pentium), maybe how much RAM it has, and maybe how big the hard drive is. When you go to a computer store and see all the bright shiny PCs laid out next to each other, most will have tags or stickers indicating the: Processor brand and model, Hard drive size and speed, Amount of memory (RAM), Graphics card, and Operating system. Two or three years later, when it comes time to upgrade your computer, that tag or sticker may be long gone. Speccy was designed as a free electronic "what's inside" sticker for your PC.

Very useful problem.
Used it a few tmes.
Suburb quality.
Used it to identify hardware and hardware specifications.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to know a bit more about their setup.

Very nice, FREE program. Unlike the ripoff prices some other similar programs charge. Yes it still can use more features, but it gets 5 stars from me for being free.

Agree with rk05. HP dv6 laptop running XP SP3 hangs. Uninstalled until they get it fixed.

I don't know how you couldn't like this program. Straight forward, pleasing GUI, does its job.

After searching the web to substantiate 'Jtaylor83's' claims the program is 'Super-Spyware' the only two sites that referred to ‘Speccy’ as 'Spyware' were blocked by both 'Malwarebytes' & 'Eset' simultaneously as ‘Malware’ sites themselves.
I therefore conclude 'Jtaylor83' is a scaremonger & his/her comments should be ignored.
The program is not mentioned in Installers 'Hall of Shame' (Unwanted add-on's) either - http://www.calendarofupd...vent&event_id=44514
'Speccy' I feel is a good free program & worth having on any system.

Speccy is a really great tool. This tells you everything you need to know about your own computer and it definitely beats having to install multiple programs for multiple pieces of hardware and such. I like it because it gives me a lot of useful information just in case issues start popping up and I have to refer back to it.

I like it. Does what it says it does.

This Program is now classified as "spyware" because it the new version steals your Windows Product Key along side with "Publish to Web" Tool.
rk05 reviewed v1.02.156 on Jun 7, 2010
Running this on my HP laptop running Win XP, the computer locks up numerous times during the hard drive check. It locks up so bad that the mouse won't move, sometimes for several minutes at a time. This happened with this version and the previous one. The CTRL, ALT DEL won't even bring it back. The other Piriform products I use works great. Sorry guys.

I have been a supporter of Speccy since its inception. I noticed on this release, 1.02, when the program is run, SPECCY.EXE opens a connection to mx1.k003k.com. Why?

Works fine, but the name Speccy is already taken by a ZX Spectrum emulator.

Network section added in this version, but Network section fails,
"You are not connected to the internet" would be true if you read me not :)
OK, this is still beta stage.

Would be interesting to see what they add to Speccy. I'll check back later and see how it compares to pcwizard on next release.

This app working great, very useful and correct information about own hardware. @ Fatbas****, Everest cost 39.95 USD, Speccy is free. Everest course provide more detailed information than Speccy, but not all people really need it. Best free alternative.

Being brave (or maybe stupid - see my review below on a previous version), I again decided to try this software. I use other software from Piriform, and, except for Speccy, never had a problem. That is why i was so surprised last time when Speccy caused a Blue Screen. Well, Piriform has fixed the problem and now works well ...and the application is worth a 5.
I've used similar applications that do much the same, SIW comes quickly to mind, and it, too, I rate at 5 ...SIW even gives more information than Speccy, though Speccy gives more detailed information in some areas. Both are very good at what they do. Try them both. Use the application you prefer, or use them both.

This is an OK program but Everest from www.lavalys.com is much better.
Neoprimal reviewed v1.00.089 Beta on Jan 21, 2010
-1 for crashing (BSoD) my PC which is Quad Core 3.0Ghz Intel based.
It's working nicely on my notebook which is an Dual Core 2.1Ghz AMD based.
Not sure what's going on with the code but it ground my Intel system to a halt. The hard drives all started clicking and anything that was going on completely froze before the system then BSoDs and reboots. I'm a little worried to try it again even as the versions progress. I'll probably try again when it moves out of Beta.
On the AMD based notebook, all works fine. I can't tell what the problem is. I DO have many hard drives both internal and external on the PC, as well as different devices hooked up, but that's where the differences stop. Both systems have similar programs installed ... in fact, much the same, and they both run 7 64bit, one with 8GB RAM the notebook with 4.

Installed this on my laptop and allowed it to run immediately after installation. It blue screened. I have now rebooted the computer. The first thing I did was go to the Control Panel to uninstall. Speccy wasn't there, so I went to the Start Menu, found it there, and found an Unistall option there. I have now uninstalled it.
Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit, Core2Duo Processor.
I would have rated it a 1 because of what it did to my laptop, but I do thank Piriform for the uninstall exe, and have upgraded my rating to a 2.

Well seeing how this locked up on the very first use, I can't rate it high. W7 Pro 64 bit.
This also removed my toolbars on my taskbar, destroyed my restore points, and god knows what else. This program is no better than a virus!
Wintings reviewed v1.00.057 Beta on Nov 20, 2009
What a handy little program! I'm sure this will come in very useful. One small complaint, though: it reports I am running Win 7 Ultimate whereas I'm actually on Win7 Professional. Apart from that, full marks
