Orange OPC Review

SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility. It should provide most of the information (including undocumented) you need to know about your hardware, software and other devices whether hardware or software. Sandra is a (girl) name of Greek origin that means “defender”, “helper of mankind”. We think that’s quite fitting.

It works along the lines of other Windows utilities, however it tries to go beyond them and show you more of what’s really going on. Giving the user the ability to draw comparisons at both a high and low-level. You can get information about the CPU, chipset, video adapter, ports, printers, sound card, memory, network, Windows internals, AGP, PCI, PCI-X, PCIe (PCI Express), database, USB, USB2, 1394/Firewire, etc.

Native ports for all major operating systems are available:

  • Windows XP, 2003/R2, Vista, 7, 2008/R2 (x86)
  • Windows XP, 2003/R2, Vista, 7, 2008/R2 (x64)
  • Windows 2003/R2, 2008/R2* (IA64)
  • Windows Mobile 5.x (ARM CE 5.01)
  • Windows Mobile 6.x (ARM CE 5.02)

All major technologies are supported and taken advantage of:

  • SMP – Multi-Processor
  • MC – Multi-Core
  • SMT/HT – Hyper-Threading
  • MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AVX, FMA – Multi-Media instructions
  • GPGPU, DirectX, OpenGL – Graphics
  • NUMA – Non-Uniform Memory Access
  • AMD64/EM64T/x64 – 64-bit extensions to x86
  • IA64 – Intel* Itanium 64-bit

A good set of results for the system in this test.

  1. Wow that really is a beauty, how awesome would that look in a bedroom next to a guitar !

  2. yeah I agree, the case alone is worth at least £250 of the asking price, with speakers etc inside. that is really an unusual product, love it.

    I just need to learn to play an instrument now or I would feel this is wasted on me.

    ANyone here know if the software they include is any good? add some value to the price?

  3. I wasn’t sure if the e-mail I got was KitGuru or Ultimate-Guitar…

  4. This is perfect for me!

  5. It’s nice to know they made it really fast as well as really pretty!

  6. The price is a bit high, but you have to note that you are basically getting a sold-state amp with a Micro-ITX computer mixed. A decent solid-state amp could cost as much as a lower-end PC while a real tube amp could be as much as a gaming machine. I see that with every other guitar/amp company they have changed to the Heavy/Death Metal scene.even though it looks psychedellic.
