    CPU-z is only for the processor but I think it has more detail on that than Everest. Doesn't hurt to run both.

    Everest shows information system wise, however, I do end up using Cpu-Z because it doesn't seem to recognize my hardware :(

    No harm in running CPU-Z (if you need to find something out about your system that Everest isn't showing). CPU-Z requires no install, (the thing I like about it :)).

    As someone mentioned earlier CPU-Z detects CPU, Mobo, Chipset, RAM. Everest is more "system wide"
