SIV Download Site
SIV by Ray Hinchliffe. 'System Information Viewer' is a general Windows utility for displaying lots of useful Windows, Network and hardware info - CPU info, PCI info, PCMCIA info, USB info, Machine Info, Hardware Sensors, Networked computers, Operating System Information and more. I use Craig Hart's pcidevs.txt file for my PCI device display with my usbdevs.txt being used for the USB devices, mondevs.txt for monitor descriptions and pcmdevs.txt for PCMCIA device descriptions. SIV is designed for Windows XP, Vista, 2008, 2003, 2000 and NT4. Windows 95, 98 and Me are also supported.

Sensor
Data
Sheets
I would like to further improve the SIV Sensor reporting, but have not been able to acquire the Data Sheets for many sensor chips. Curently I am looking for the SMSC EMC2700P, LPC47B357, LPC47B397, SCH5307, SCH5317 and SCH5514 Data sheets. If you know where I can get these any other Data Sheets for sensors that SIV does not support please e-mail me.

Logos
If you have any better looking or additional CPU or Chipset Logos please e-mail them to me and I will consider using them in the next release of SIV. Each logo I add increases the size of SIV.exe by typically 4KB, so I don't want to add an excessive number.
They should ideally be 62 x 77 pixels for Intel, 65 x 81 pixels for AMD and no more than 256 colours.
