How to View all system specifications in one place.


View all system specifications in one place.

The DirectX Diagnostic Tool (DXDiag) is a Windows-based DirectX tool that presents information about the components and drivers of the DirectX application programming interface (API) installed on your system. Administrators or users can test sound and graphics output and DirectPlay service providers, and disable some hardware acceleration features.  

If you are buying a second handed computer, it’s obvious that you will want to know the amount of available memory,  processor speed, bios version, operating system type and version, system model, direct version, language, date and time. If it’s all about telling you by words of mouth, then you a lot of people will cheat others.
Viewing your system properties in one place is handy and far much better than checking just few. Check your drive capacity by opening my computer, point to the drive and a message displays the drives available and used memory, or right click and choose properties from menu.
Let’s say you just checked your drives capacity and everything is OK. What about checking other system properties like amount of available memory, the processor speed, bios version, operating system type and version, system model, direct version, language, date and time?
There is also a way of checking all these properties which is by clicking run from the start menu, then type into the box the following code, “dxdiag” without the quotations. Click OK in the next window to confirm, and you are done. 

In the next window you can find every little information about your computer’s properties including the ones you never knew could be found there. Everything you see on this screen is exactly what the computer holds and shouldn’t doubt. If the person selling told you there is a 5GB memory in the computer, and you happen to see 2GB, then something has to be done about that, because the system doesn’t lie at that stage.   

In the DirectX Diagnostic tool, you can also test if there are any sound, video drivers installed in your the computer. You can save all the information for later use or reference. 

To view other system information, click the next button as the page changes to your desired page. 
And you are done.
