This is a first-impression review (an overview and tour based on the first 5 minutes of testing this application) of the Aida32 PE 393 software (aida32pe_393.zip). The software shown in this video is free for personal use. It has passed AVG Free Anti-Virus and SpyBot:Search & Destroy scanning (in its compressed, uninstalled state). It documents hardware devices and specifications of said hardware. It may provide some benchmark testing, and may be able to identify components for which you do not have drivers installed (those that appear as an Unknown Device with a yellow question mark ( ? ) icon in Windows' Device Manager).
The program would do so in providing the component's make (brand), model line and model number, amongst other information.
This program will help identify and provide information about these hardware types, amongst others: hard disk drives, display adapters ( GPU, video graphics cards ), network adapters ( network interface cards ), sound cards ( audio devices ), as well as motherboard, RAM modules ( memory ) and CPU processor components.
Note that purposefully for this test, no GPU video graphic card display adapter drivers nor network interface card adapter drivers were installed on the PC in test.
