    CPU-Z is a freeware utility that gathers information on some of the main devices of your system. CPU-Z does not need to be installed, just unzip the files in a directory and run the .exe. In order to remove the program, just delete the files. The program does not copy any file in any Windows directory, nor write to the registry.

    Personal Comments:
    Well, I said this is better than v1.51.
    It runs and read the specifications faster and more accurate.
    In addition, the layout is better.

    I tried it and was surprised to see it was reading the voltage on my T7500 correctly. For a long time CPU-z hadn't been reading mobile voltages correctly - it had been advised to use 1.41 instead of whatever the most recent version was (and I'd been doing so). But it looks like perhaps mobile users will be able to use the most recent version again soon.

    Also surprised to see the "graphics" tab. Thought this was a CPU program! At least the graphics tab seems accurate, though.
