ASTRA - Advanced Sysinfo Tool and Reporting Assistant. This program performs computer configuration analysis and diagnostics. It gives detailed information about your computer hardware and devices operational modes, including undocumented information. A unique quick HDD Health Status checker is included. It provides information on CPU, motherboard, hard disks, S.M.A.R.T., CD/DVD devices, SCSI devices, memory modules, chipset, BIOS, PCI/AGP, ISA/PnP and PnP devices, monitor, video card, sound card, network card, printer, etc. This program also creates a report file in plain text, INI, HTML, XML and CSV format, and is able to run in batch mode. Bootable ISO and floppy images are also available. The DOS version is especially designed for system restore purposes and may be used by repair professionals.
identifies processor frequency, CPU clock multiplier and FSB clock, detects expected (not-overclocked) processors frequency, processor number, socket (slot, socket) and package (Platform ID) processor type, identifies processor features (MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, Supplemental SSE3, SSE4, XOP, 3DNow!, 3DNow! Extensions and others) and L1/L2/L3 processor cache size
quick HDD Health Status checker (using an unique algorithm) and calculation of SSD Remaining Life
identifies motherboard manufacturer and URL, identifies vendor, date and version of BIOS, identifies vendor and model of chipset
identifies models and size of ATA/ATAPI devices (HDD, CD/DVD drives, ZIP drives). Detects interface type (Parallel ATA, Serial ATA I, Serial ATA II). Detects PIO, DMA and Ultra DMA modes (including active modes of the configuration). Identifies ATA/ATAPI devices on external UDMA/SATA controllers. Detection of CD/DVD-drives' maximum and current read/write speeds
reading of HDD S.M.A.R.T. information (including drives using external UDMA/SATA/RAID controllers) and detection of HDD temperature
identifies SCSI devices (HDD, CD drives, scanners, tape drives). Detects device name, type, size, SCSI serial number, temperature, manufacture date, buffer size, HDD rotation speed and others
detects SPD memory modules (size, type, vendor, speed parameters and many others)
identifies PCI/AGP/PCI-X/PCI-E/PCMCIA, system PnP, ISA/PnP devices and used resources. Program can detect over 17400 devices
identifies over 14000 monitor models, the viewable diagonal image size, modes supported by the monitor and other features
support of DMI/SMBIOS standard, including detection of system name, motherboard model, BIOS, CPU, cache, memory subsystem parameters, motherboard slots and ports information
identifies vendor and model of graphic controller, video memory size and supported videomodes
identifies sound card type, modem, network card, LPT/PnP devices (printers, scanners) and many others
creates a file report in plain text (see example), INI (see example), HTML (see example), XML (see example) and CSV (see example)
able to run in batch mode
program can be run from a bootable floppy, CD/DVD or USB drive. Bootable ISO and floppy images are also available.
program runs under any extended memory managers (QEMM, EMM, etc.)
ability to import reports into hardware inventory management software - Hardware Inspector
