In the last few years, one of the most popular tools among the
benchmarking and system diagnostic users is
Everest Ultimate, developed by
Lavalys.
Everest Ultimate analyzes your computer and extracts all the necessary information from the
system to be able to indentify all the physical devices (
hardware) connected, as well as the software. After this, we can access all this information categorized in a window that much resembles the
Windows Explorer.
Thus, from its main menu we can see the following
information:
-
Computer, a summary of its characteristics, plus the properties of the energy administrator and details of its sensors.
-
Motherboard, with all the information concerning the memory, the
chipset and the
BIOS.
-
Operating System, where we will be able to access the processes, the system controllers and the services.
-
Server, that will give us access to shared folders and local and global groups.
-
Screen, that will allow us to access it properties and the information regarding our graphic card.
-
Multimedia, a summary of all the available audio and video codecs.
And other sections, that include:

Moreover,
Everest Ultimate provides the possibility to generate a detailed
report in a text file or the partical
HTML format, of all information provided or only the information that interests us most. It also offers tools like "Disk Benchmark module", "Memory benchkmarking", "Screen Diagnostic", "System Stability Test" and "EVEREST CPUID".
