CNET Editors' review
This extensive system diagnostic and report generator suffers from a major operation flaw. Everest Ultimate Edition's file-tree interface makes it very simple to find and view information about your system. The program expects a certain amount of user experience. Individual system items are not explained, although simple function operation is covered in the help file.
Everest Ultimate Edition will list most of the facts about your system. Separating your system into 15 areas, it quickly, and with few resources, lists the details of your hardware and much of your software. With just a click, you can find your CPU, motherboard, and operating system information. Without opening your PC, this app can list your PCI devices and their operating states. Where this program both shined and failed was in its report-writing functions. The quick reports were as speedy as promised. Select system information is captured and a report is written in a few seconds in either text or HTML format. However, our testers found the full system Report Wizard would run amok. The wizard would generate reports for every tested area of the system. Eventually, it would take almost all available system resources and crash itself and some other apps.
The demo disables display of some system information, but not too much to prevent you from accurately testing the program. It works well except for the Report Wizard function. Anyone in need of collecting detailed system information, and saving it in simple files, should give this flawed, but useful, diagnostic a chance.

"Good program for most computers."
Version: Everest Ultimate Edition 4
Pros
Nice looking, professional interface. Complete details on all system components. Better then older versions and Everest Standard. It?s Vista compatible which is great for my dual hard drive desktop. I have Vista Home Premium on drive 1 and XP Pro on drive 2. Everest is a very accurate, informative program. It provides accurate info on system hardware, operating system, installed software and the software licenses. It tells which Windows Updates you have installed. It provides the operating temperature of hardware components when applicable. If it?s information about your computer your looking for, Everest Ultimate is the way to go.
Cons
It doesn?t test the performance of hardware components. It doesn?t support my Video Card. It doesn?t support my optical drives. It uses more ram while running (1% of 2GB) and puts to many icons on my taskbar. Try Performance Test. It?s a system benchmark test that?s accurate, easy to use and does test the performance of all my hardware components. It?s is available for download here and is $5.00 cheaper then Everest. It also works on XP and Vista so one license does it for both my hard drives.

"Everest Ultinate: My Favorite: Benchmarks are Real"
Version: Everest Ultimate Edition 4
Pros
PRO: Nice interface, easy to learn and use, makes great report files,

Benchmarks CPU, GPU, RAM, drives (inc flash), etc.
Benchmarks are in real numbers (MB/sec) not pseudo like others.
Prefer it to Sandra and PCMark. Worth the price.
Cons
CONS: Trial version and older versions were not as good as Ultimate ver.
(Free updates seem to beyond one year.)

"Excellent"
Version: Everest Ultimate Edition 4
Pros
I just completed building my first PC. I now have one place to go to for status/information on the PC. I find the sensor information particularly valuable since I can monitor the operating temperature and speed of the fans; the voltages, etc., from the desktop.
This and Belarc report gives me all the information I need.
