| Hey all, great newsgroup!
I have been in computers for quite some time, and would consider myself very
hardware driven. I am currently reading Mike Meyer's all in one A+
Certification. Great book and appreciate Mr. Meyer's humor interjected in a
text book of sorts... Will hopefully be doing the tests shortly.
I have helped people for some time, and have come across a few good programs
that are free that have helped. I know of a few good ones that are quite
costly, but for some of us just trying to start out, and Mr. Meyers has
recommended a few, can anyone give some of their favorites?
I'll start the list with a few that I have found. Belarc Advisor for
finding system information. Kind of like Sisoft's Sandra, but very scaled
down. Very easy to use, and occasionally, gives some good info.
Memory testers from simmtest.com. I have used them for a few years, and
great at helping with the consistent memory address errors. Granted, the
errors should point to it directly, but I like to make double sure...
This is by no means an advertisement, but always looking for some good
freeware/shareware that will help a fledgeling support person such as
myself. If you have any suggestions or recommendations, please post and it
will be much appreciated.
