Two of the Handiest System Utilities

CPU-Z is a very quick and dirty portable app for seeing quick info on a system. It gives you the skinny on processors running, memory and bus speed, and more! My only gripe is that it doesn't display graphics card specs.

The Windows Inspection Tool Set is for software what CPU-Z is for hardware. From the website: "(It) provides you with cross-linked, filtered views into a Windows system. View operating system information, processes, services, users, network interfaces and connections, file shares, printers and more. All views are linked allowing for easy navigation between related objects." Man, why couldn't this one be portable, too?
