Recommend Hardware info / testing program.

Can all you gurus recommend a good hardware information / testing program for DOS? I have one but it isn't compatible with a lot of the newer hardware devices (agp and such). I have seen several around, but instead of wasting my time and trying them all I'd figure I would ask you guys first.

If you can manage Windows for the testing platform, SiSoft Sandra is by far the best I've seen. It tests everything on a system pretty much. I used to have a DOS program for the same purpose...can't remember the name right now...but it'd be outdated as you were speaking about above.

Some old DOS programs I can remember (although Sisoft Sandra, as recommended by another user, is damn good for Windows platform):
QAPlus AMIDiag (from the AMI BIOS people) Norton SysInfo (came with Norton Utilities) Manifest (came with Quarterdeck EMM)
Of these all, QAPlus and Sysinfo were best for Information+Testing area. If you wanted pure information and (user-friendly) program, I recommend Manifest.

Between the two of these it pretty much covers everything:
Summary: Well, based on your description, I must make some assumptions about what's going on. It seems that you know that the hard disk is in fact installed in the machine. So lets assume that you can hear it ...
Summary: I need help. I need to find out the minimum and recommended hardware requirements for dos 6.22. or a page that has similar information to this. please e-mail me if you have this info. thankyou so much...
