## 1. Intro ##################################################################
HWiNFO is a *POWERFUL* hardware detection program. It is simple, quick and
on most systems very efficient. It "tries" to give only important information
about all the hardware devices in your computer so that you need not look
inside the PC to see what's there.
## 2. Updates and download ###################################################

## 3. Requirements ###########################################################
- 80386 or better CPU
- cca. 500 KBytes of free System Memory
- cca. 1.5 MBytes of free XMS Memory (XMS manager recommended)
## 4. Utilities distributed with HWiNFO ######################################
There are four utilities distributed along with HWiNFO:
GETBIOS.COM This utility retrieves all BIOS images and saves them to
files <BIOSseg>.ROM
This program doesn't run in V86 mode in order to avoid
BIOS relocation.
GETDDC.COM This utility saves VESA Display Data Channel data to file
DDC.DAT if your video card and monitor support DDC
GETPCI.EXE This utility stores all data from PCI configuration space
registers into files <VendorID><DeviceID>.PCI
GETPNPRS.EXE This utility saves resource data for all Plug-and-Play
capable devices into files PNP<CSN>.RES
GETSMBUS.EXE This utility reads data from all devices connected to SMBus
(e.g. HW monitors, P.I.ROM, Scratch EEPROM, SPD DIMM...)
and saves to files SMBUS<ADR>.DAT
These utilities are free and are designed to help me improve HWiNFO if
you send me the results.
## 5. Registration ###########################################################
HWiNFO is shareware, meaning that you can test the program for free whilst
checking if it is useful for you. The public (unregistered) version has all
the features as the registered version except the "Create report file"
feature. The other disadvantage is the message that HWiNFO isn't registered
and that you have to press a random key while the results are shown.
If you think you could use this program and don't want to see that stupid
message, or if you continue using it after a trial period of 14 days, you
should register. Otherwise after this period HWiNFO becomes an illegal copy
and you have to delete it (ho-ho-ho :-)).
If you decide to register, you should print out the file REGISTER.FRM,
fill it and send to the address in the file.
If you include your Internet e-mail address, you will receive the
key file via e-mail, otherwise snail mail.
Once you have obtained the key file needed to register, copy it to the
HWiNFO directory and the current version will become registered. Of course,
you mat not distribute the key file, it's only for your personal use.
Well, the Registration fee is:

## 6. Creating a logfile #####################################################
There are three possible methods how to create a logfile:
1. Simple log
After pressing the <F2> key, HWiNFO adds the results from current screen
to a logfile.
2. Report file ("-r" switch) [REGISTERED VERSION ONLY]
HWiNFO creates AUTOMATICALLY a COMPLETE logfile at startup.
This logfile has the same format as the one created with <F2> key, but
there's no need to navigate HWiNFO through all the screens.
3. Short report file ("-s" switch) [REGISTERED VERSION ONLY]
HWiNFO creates AUTOMATICALLY a logfile, which contains only the
MOST IMPORTANT items. This format is suitable for further automatical
processing (or printing) of logfiles (e.g. if you would like to create
an inventory of more machines). Here's a sample of the format:
CPU=Intel Pentium III Xeon, 550.0 MHz
Bus=ISA + PCI + A.G.P.
Chipset=Intel 82440GX AGPset
Memory=128 MBytes
...
VideoChipset=nVIDIA GeForce 256 DDR
VideoMemory=32768 KBytes of SGRAM
3Daccel=3Dfx Voodoo 2
...
If you use a capital letter (either "-R" or "-S") the benchmark will not
be performed.
The "-v" switch enables Verbose Mode, where all screen outputs are supressed.
The default log filename is "HWiNFO.LOG". You can change its name if you
enter it as a paramater to HWiNFO (e.g. "HWiNFO.EXE -S -v HOME.LOG").
Samples of logfiles can be found at HWiNFO homepage.
## 7. Limitations ############################################################
The Mainboard Chipset identification works only on newer (≈ 1991 and above)
AMI and newer AWARD BIOSes. HWiNFO is also able to detect some chipsets, not
depending on the type of BIOS (see HWiNFO.LST).
Fixed Disk Buffered Data Transfer rate reads data from one physical sector
until 4 seconds. Some caches (like Hyperdisk; but NCACHE or SMARTDRV don't)
could cause invalid results. Also some mainboards, which have incompatible
timers could cause problems.
Fixed Disk Average Seek receives results while seeking permanently 100* from
cylinder 0 to a cylinder, which is 1/3 of the max. cylinder number. Thus some
programs could report another result if they seek to an another cylinder.
SCSI disks and some Cache programs (Hyperdisk) don't generate Seek requests,
thus the Seek and RPM result is abnormal and HWiNFO displays <N/A>.
PCMCIA detection requires Socket Services or Card Services to be installed.
If you want more info about sockets, install Card Services.
The VESA Local Bus can be detected only if a VLB card is present.
CD-ROM benchmark requires MSCDEX.EXE (Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions) to
be installed and an inserted data CD.
## 8. Running HWiNFO under V86 Memory Managers and Windows ###################
In order to achieve best results, HWiNFO accesses directly the hardware.
Some of the routines (privileged) require to be run in Real mode or at
privilege level 0 (PL0, most privileged), but in V86 mode are all
applications run at PL3. This means, if such a routine is run, the CPU
raises an exception, which is handled by the V86 manager. Note, that
V86 mode is the only way to run a DOS application (Real mode) under
MS Windows (Protected mode). EMM (Expanded Memory Manager) also use the
V86 mode to provide paging.
But HWiNFO v3.00+ is able to run the privileged routines in V86 mode under
some circumstances. There is a special call (called WINDOWS INIT BROADCAST),
which can be used to force an V86 manager to switch to Real mode (of course,
the V86 manager must support it). This call was originally used by
MS Windows while starting, while an Expanded Memory Manager was running
(this is needed, because EMM is running in Protected mode and Windows too).
Such known EMM managers are:
- Microsoft EMM386 Expanded Memory Manager
- Quarterdeck QEMM386 Expanded Memory Manager
- Qualitas 386MAX Expanded Memory Manager
- Nu-Mega Soft-ICE Debugger
...
So HWiNFO uses this call to force the manager to switch back to Real mode.
HWiNFO works best under EMM386 (I haven't found any problems).
But there are some disadvantages while runnig in V86 mode:
- The FPU benchmark returns another results (it's slower) as in real mode.
- Some V86 managers are able to relocate BIOSes, so HWiNFO won't be able
to identify BIOS type and some video cards.
- A crash while detecting the CPU type could happen on some older
CPUs requiring CPU RESET to identify them properly.
The other case is, if a manager doesn't support the call. This happens if
you are running under Microsoft Windows95 OSR2 or Windows98 DOS mode.
If these managers receive the Windows INIT BCAST, they display a message
about running an incompatible application and stop. So the only way is
to skip the privileged routines.
Pre v4.4.1 of HWiNFO refused to run under this circumstances, but
later versions run with the following restrictions (skip privileged routs):
- CPU frequency can't be measured using TSC
- CPU RESET can't be performed
(this is needed only for older CPUs or to receive the Processor Number
while this feature has been disabled)
- TI486 Potomac CPUs can't be identified
- L2 cache ECC presence can't be detected (P-II, Xeon)
- CPU Update Revision can't be reported (PPro and above)
- Cache state, branch prediction and instruction execution can't be reported
If you try to run HWiNFO directly from Microsoft Windows (DOS box), it will
refuse to continue. This is because Windows controls also access to some
ports and doesn't allow a direct access from a DOS application. This
means, that if HWiNFO wouldn't refuse to run, but continue, it would be
unable to return info about IDE/ATAPI drives, COM/LPT ports, BIOS scan,
PnP resources, Benchmarks wouldn't be accurate...
Windows NT VDM (Virtual DOS Machine) is even more strict.
## 9. Resetting the CPU ######################################################
The CPU ID is available only on 386+ CPUs and HWiNFO uses three ways to
obtain this ID:
Method 1 - Resets the CPU while A20 is Enabled.
This method works on all systems, but the Reset handler gets
control after BIOS. And some BIOSes (some newer AMI/Award BIOSes)
destroy CPU ID (EDX) and therefore this ID could be invalid.
This method is default <Enabled> in Setup section.
Method 2 - Resets the CPU while A20 is Disabled.
This method works only on some machines, which do have a
Fully-Terminated bus. It's the best way to obtain CPU ID, because
it gets control immediately after Reset (the BIOS can't destroy
EDX). I've found some problems with this method while running
with Norton cache.
This method is default <Disabled> in Setup section.
Method 3 - Try to use this method if your BIOS destroys CPU ID. But it works
only on systems, which do not have Main BIOS (area at 0F000:0)
Write-Protected, because it modifies it for a bit, and then
restores back. This method is on some machines the only way
to obtain CPU ID.
This method is default <Enabled> in Setup section.
HWiNFO tries to determine CPU ID this way, via: 1. CPUID instruction
2. BIOS (INT 15h)
3. Method 2 (if Enabled)
4. Method 3
5. Method 1
If you have an UMC U5SX/SD/SLV/486DX2/SX2, Enhanced Am486DX2/DX4/DX4-WB,
AMD-K5 and above, Intel 486DX/SX/DX2 SL-Enhanced, IntelDX4, IntelSX2,
IntelDX2 W-B Enh. or Intel Pentium(R) and above, there is no need to Reset
the CPU (these CPU support CPUID instruction). Most CPUs today support
CPUID instruction.
Note: NexGen Nx586 does NOT support the CPUID instruction.
Cyrix 5x86 and above support the CPUID instruction only if CPUIDEN bit
in CCR4 register is set. HWiNFO 3.0.7+ sets this bit automatically.
Disabling "CPU ID detection via Method 1, 2 and 3" reduces your CPU
detection ability. And if there's no other way to obtain this ID
(via BIOS or CPUID instruction), it won't identify 386SL, i386CX/EX,
486DX2, IBM 486... and some other CPUs. Do this only if your system
hangs while attempting CPU detection.
Some BIOSes simply OVERWRITE the CPU ID (EDX) :-< ! In this case an
invalid CPU ID is displayed and the CPU is probably incorrectly identified.
If this problem occurs, try to use Method 3 (but your Main BIOS must be
Write-Enabled !). If it doesn't work, try to use Method 2 (but you must
have a Fully-Terminated bus !). And if HWiNFO still displays, that Method 1
was used to obtain CPU ID, not Method 2 nor 3 can obtain it.
## 10. HWiNFO Crash ##########################################################
- If HWiNFO crashes while executing the CPU benchmark, please use
HIMEM.SYS (or another XMS manager).
- S3 ViRGE cards seem to crash while performing the TV Tuner test.
If so, disable the "Check TV Tuner" option in Setup.
- Stacker Compression Card and 3Com EtherLink III Adapter detection
routines can cause crashes with some Network cards. You can disable
them in the Configuration section (Stacker check is default disabled;
3Com EtherLink III detection is enabled).
- If HWiNFO crashes while starting or while the "Flushing Disk Caches..."
message is displayed, disable the "FlushDiskCache" option in HWiNFO.INI
or HWiNFO|Setup.
- The test for a TIGA graphics adapter may cause problems with some
adapters.
## 11. Secondary Video Info ##################################################
RISC Graphics Processor: currently identifies only Hitachi HD63484 ACRTC
Scanning for TMS: checks for TMS340x0 processor on several ports and tries
to get vendor and device name (detection routine from
SPEA GDC drivers, I don't know if it works with other TMS
cards too)
TMS Boot EEPROM: gets info from Boot Software; this won't probably work
with other cards than SPEA (I don't know :-( )

## 15. Miscellaneous notes ###################################################
On some old motherboards, random numbers are obtained from unused I/O ports
and this may cause invalid identification of some hardware (e.g. WSS).
I don't know how to solve this problem.
Intel Pentium(R) and above CPUs do not report, that the "APIC on-chip"
feature is present. Most of them (P54C yes, but P54CQS and P54LM don't)
have an on-chip APIC, but don't report it, if it isn't supported by
external hardware.
Dhrystone benchmark tests the performance of CPU and Memory, but only in
16-bit code. Therefore a 150 MHz Pentium Pro (which is designed and tuned
especially for 32-bit code) returns a rather low Dhrystone result.
So its performance while running with 16-bit applications is comparable
to a 100 MHz Pentium P54C.
If you have an Intel 420LX/420NX/430FX/430HX/430VX/430MX/430TX,
SiS 85C501/5120/5511/5571/5581/5596/5597/5591, AMD-640 chipset or
VIA Apollo VP-1/VPX/VP-2/VP3/MVP3, HWiNFO is able to detect the type of
External Cache and its size direct from the PCI chipset registers.
