PERSONAL NOTES
• Can't say enough about PSINFO
• SYSTEMINFO is an XP tool which appears to be the
console equivalent of WINMSD
• Use the following command in XP and .NET Server to get
networking and system diagnostics info: NETSH DIAG GUI
• WINMSD in 2000 and XP actually calls MSINFO32 for its
functionality.
• As of 24 Mar 2004, Aida32 development will cease...
Time to find another excellent, free diagnostics and
benchmarking utility -- perhaps "Everest HOME Edition"
