Get your PC Information by Speccy

Often we need to view the information of PC. A very simple technique for this purpose is- simply make a right click on My Computer and hit on properties. Then we can see some basic information about PC.

More advanced option is- Windows Key + Run, type dxdiag and hit ok. It will show information about Mother board, Graphics, Audio Driver etc.

But Speccy will give you something more that you can't see by Windows. With speccy you can see information regarding almost everything of your PC. It will show you the following information:



  • Processor brand and model
  • Hard drive size and speed  
  • Amount of memory (RAM)   
  • Graphics card  
  • Operating system


Most surprisingly, you will be able to see your computer's heat! You can see the temperature of your Hard Disk, Main Board and Processor.

How to create PDF file?

Often we need to convert a word, excel or any other file into PDF format. This is done through a virtual printer. When a virtual printer (that creates PDF file) is installed in your system then you can see it in your print option.

In this post I will tell about do PDF. It is a powerful tool to convert several files (DOC, DOCX, DJVU, XLS, XLSX, XPS, PPT, PPTX, DOT, EML, VSD, PUB, PUBX, MPP, WPD, OpenOffice, DWG, HTML, TXT, PNG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF and many others) into PDF format.

Steps for creating PDF file:
1. Download and install doPDF from here.
2. Open a program (ie. MS Word) from which you wanna create PDF.
3. Open your desired file for conversion purpose.
4. Go to the print option by pressing Ctrl + P.
5. Select the doPDF printer from the Print dialogue box.
6. Now you will see the doPDF dialogue box on you screen.
7. Now select the location on which you want your PDF file to keep and hit OK button.

Now you have all done. Your brand new PDF file may open directly. If not then go to the file location you selected and open it through PDF viewer.


What is PDF file?

The very first thing you need to know what is PDF. PDF stands for Portable Document Format. A PDF file can be read anywhere just by using PDF viewer. To view PDF file, there are several programs available over the net. The most interesting thing is that the almost all PDF viewers are free of charge!! 

The two widely used PDF viewers are: Adobe Reader and Foxit Reader
Which one should I use? Good question. 

You can use any of the two. If your disk space is low, then use Foxit Reader. But if you have more disk space use Adobe Reader. With adobe reader you will find some more options. Nothing else. 

You can convert your file into PDF from several program. For example, you can convert a file into PDF from MS Word, Excel, Power Point and so many. When you convert a PDF file into word, then you can use it in a computer where MS Office Program is not installed. In that case, you need a PDF viewer.

Leading Browsers: IE, FF, Google Chrome, Safari

Internet Explorer: The most widely used browser of the world. But losing its positions day by day. Its active versions are IE 8, 9 and Beta Version 10. Few days ago Microsoft Officially stopped supporting for IE 6. Internet Explorer is losing its customers to Firefox and Google Chrome. But Microsoft is also working to increase the user of IE.

Google Chrome: The 2nd most used browser is Google Chrome. Now it is a active threat to Internet Explorer and Firefox. It has lots of extension available on chrome store. Its interface is very simple and nice. As a product of search giant Google it gets some extra advantages too. 

Firefox: Competing hard with Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. With more than 5000 add ons Firefox are very popular to users. But the recent versions of Firefox are not stable enough. Mozilla Corporation is now releasing new version of Firefox very quickly.

Safari: The last one in the major browser category is Safari introduced by Apple Inc. But it is not in the completion with the other 3. Due to the relatively complex interface users other than Mac OS don't like it.
