I got a 3 year renewal for $35. I suppose I didn't really need to renew but I got a new laptop which the old version didn't recognise some of the hardware. All good now.
Once upon a time I was young and mad about building rigs, so I used AIDA a lot. It was/is a great all-in-one utility but for those who are on a budget, here are a few freebies:
