Hi to all. Does anyone know of some program or programs that will do the same as CPU-Z and GPU-Z for *NIX? Basically CPU-Z and GPU-Z alike for *NIX. Thanks to all. Once upon a time the floppy disk was king.

Overclocking isn't a particularly common activity among Linux users, so I don't know of any that can actually report your core speed in realtime. If you install lmsensors (requires basic command-line skills) and KSensors, you can retrieve temperature, voltage, and your clock speed (though not updated regularly, just during speedstep). Most distros have a program known as hardinfo in their repositories. It provides a nice GUI that displays a bunch of useful hardware and software information, as well as simple benchmarking tests. It's more similar to Karen's Computer Profiler, if you've ever used that. Also from the command line are some useful tools that can retrieve information about your hardware much like CPU-Z, though in a slightly less friendly format: cat /proc/cpuinfo This command will display information about your processor. Model name and number, along with the speed measured at bootup and cache size should jump out at you. The "flags" are arguably useful, but Linux assigns slightly different names to the instructions than you might be used to. For instance, "pni" is SSE3. You'd have to look up what each of the flags mean. lspci This simple command will list PCI and PCI-E devices you have plugged into your system, including manufacturer info. dmidecode You'll need to have root permissions to use this command. ir provides an excellent overview of the devices and features on your motherboard. Arguably better than lspci, but even longer output. Pipe it into a file ( dmidecode > decode.txt) for easier reading.
