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’s) 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
We have tested the Fusion platform before and these results fall in with what we would expect. It generally outperforms the ATOM system although it suffers a little from the single channel memory bandwidth.
Wow that is tiny, smallest computer ive seen.
I have the same hard drive in my dell laptop and its dire. Apart from that this looks like a nice system. Small too.
Id change the hdd but not much else
The green top is wicked, is that an led?
Great looking media system. Well constructed
Shame it isnt a tiny bit bigger and had a bluray drive. Bit i pose it would cost 400 then
They should do one in black and green
I am ordering one as I love the fact this has displayport ! I will replace the drive and use it as an external storage unit. great review thanks.
really pretty little nettop system, I love the appearance and loads of ports. including displayport and HDMI.
Shame they dropped the ball a little with the hard drive, but its easy replaced and I like the fact you can put your own OS on it too
Or you could just buy the barebones one and get the RAM and drive yourself.
Thorough review!
do you think it will be able to run Pro Evolution Soccer 2011/2012 with an acceptable fps?
I’ve seen it run on a core i3 (before sandybridge) cpu + intel hd graphics and for me it works pretty well! (720p)
Lower RPM drive is to keep the box cool. A higher RPM Drive may cause heat issues.
Wonder if the remote will work with Linux
Diego
HD6310 destroy i3 graphic by a 3x factor.
hello, i have problem during catalyst 11.11 on my AD10-Win7 Pro 64b and a black screen instead of the gina after each reboot. did you test catalyst 11.11 on a W7 Pro 64b ?
Thank you
Thank you, I’ve just been looking for info about this topic for a while and yours is the greatest I’ve came upon so far.
