Software update: PCI-Z 1.3

Version 1.3 of PCI-Z has been released. PCI-Z is a small and free program that can identify unknown hardware in a Windows PC. Where most similar utilities read the driver string, this program uses the PCI ID Repository and displays the vendor id, devices, subsystems, and device classes information. Also, the program makes it easy to find drivers for the unknown hardware. Although the name is reminiscent of CPU-Z and GPU-Z, it has nothing to do with these programs. The changelog for version 1.3 looks like this:

Changes in version 1.3:

• Significant code changes and speedups
• All database transactions are dealt with through memory
• “Error message” column no longer appears if there is no errors/problems with devices
• Added devices class detection
• Added ability to sort columns
• Fixed bug where part of menu was left when screenshot was taken
• CLI output is now more lspci-like
