  1. This application is pretty useless as it only reports information filled into the SMBIOS by the OEM. If your system doesn't have that info filled in, or it is a homebuilt system, it shows pretty much no information at all except for the motherboard vendor and SMBIOS version.... Not even CPU type can be viewed.
