Portable ASTRA32 - Advanced System Information Tool 2.03 is a useful tool which is designed to be able to run from a USB flash drive or any other portable device.

This program performs computer configuration analysis and provides detailed information (including undocumented) on your computer hardware and its working modes. Portable ASTRA32 is a software that performs computer configuration analysis.

You will appreciate the accuracy with which ASTRA32 acquires the information about the detected devices as it mostly refers directly to the hardware not to the Windows Registry. ASTRA32 uncovers even undocumented data. You can be sure that the obtained information about the computer hardware and device operational modes is precise irrespective of the installed drivers.

Major Features:

1. Detects 304 processor and coprocessor types from: Intel, AMD, Cyrix, VIA, Centaur/IDT, Rise, Transmeta, NexGen, UMC, IBM, Texas Instruments, C&T, IIT, ULSI, National Semiconductor, SiS
2. 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, SSE5, 3DNow!, 3DNow! Extensions and others) and L1/L2/L3 processor cache size
3. A unique Drivers Troubleshooter function. It lists all problem physical devices whose drivers are not properly installed or completely missing
4. Quick HDD Health Status checker (using an unique algorithm)
5. Detailed drivers information (driver name, provider, version, date, status, etc.) for each physical device
6. Identifies motherboard manufacturer and URL, identifies vendor, date and version of BIOS, identifies vendor and model of chipset
7. 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
8. Reading of HDD S.M.A.R.T. information (including drives using external UDMA/SATA/RAID controllers) and detection of HDD temperature
9. 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
10. Detects SPD memory modules (size, type, vendor, speed parameters and many others)
11. Identifies PCI/AGP/PCI-X/PCI-E/PCMCIA, ISA/PnP devices and used resources. Program can detect over 11900 devices
12. Identifies USB devices (vendor, model, serial number, version, speed and others). Program can detect over 12100 devices
13. Identifies over 9600 monitor models, the viewable diagonal image size, modes supported by the monitor and other features
14. Support of DMI/SMBIOS standard, including detection of system name, motherboard model, BIOS, CPU, cache, memory subsystem parameters, motherboard slots and ports information
15. Identifies vendor and model of graphic controller, video memory size
16. Identifies sound card type, modem, network card, LPT/PnP devices (printers, scanners) and many others
17. Information about Windows and installed programs and hotfixes
18. Creates a file report in plain text (see example), INI (see example), HTML (see example), XML (see example) and CSV (see example) format
19. Able to run without installation. Standalone version also available.
20. Ability to import reports into hardware inventory management software
