Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Getting detailed system information is easy with this program, but novice users may not understand all the data it provides.
SiSoftware Sandra's tabbed interface starts in the Home tab, which gives easy access to its various functions. In turn, each of the tabs includes numerous options. Fortunately, the demo version doesn't have a time limitation. Despite clearly-labeled functions, tooltips and the Help file, even 30 days wouldn't be long enough to explore everything this program offers. The main tabs include Tools, Benchmarks, Hardware and Software. Within the tab, you'll find the options listed in a tiled fashion, but you can switch the view to show more or less information. You can view comprehensive system information, including manufacturer and version information for hardware and running processes, and loaded DLLs for software.
Where applicable, the application gives you advice for improving system performance. Each of the modules follows the same basic steps, and shares common buttons for basic navigation and operation. Despite the simplicity of using this program and the plain language it uses, it's not for the novice. Users are expected to know what is meant by the advice to check whether the BIOS is shadowed or not. You can generate reports or save the information to the clipboard in most cases. Performance information can be uploaded to the SiSoftware Web site for comparison to other user's information.
Although many of the modules in the Software tab are disabled in the demo version, there's still plenty this program can tell intermediate to advanced users.

Version: SiSoftware Sandra 2009.SP1
Pros: This program does everything it says it does. It lists all info about your computer,ie motherboard, cpu, bios, etc. which helps if you don't have a recovery disk, and need to re-install windows (for needed drivers). Loads of other uses.
Cons: This version is more complicated to install, and at 40mb is bigger than the old Sandra I have (2.4mb), but it has lots more benchmarking abilities, so I guess that's not much of a "con".
