Software Update: HWiNFO 5.2.2

Martin Malík of Realix has updated Hwinfo, the DOS version of Hwinfo32, to version 5.2.2. With this program it is possible to retrieve all kinds of information about the hardware in a computer. The program can also run a number of benchmarks on the system to see how well it performs. A few weeks ago, Realix announced that Hwinfo32 has become freeware, but that Hwinfo remains shareware. The program can be tried for two weeks, after which it can be licensed for $12 for private use, or $25 for commercial use. The changelog for this release shows the following changes and improvements:
