Resolved Where do I find my system specs?

Hello all!

I wish to "update" my profile with the information on "my system specs ". Where would I find that information? I have looked under "My Computer ", right clicked, checked properties, and under "device manager ". But am lost as to where to find or what to look for in regards to several of the required fields (i.e. make/model, motherboard, video card, etc.). Does that application even offer the information I need?

My OS is WinXP Pro. Any help/suggestions on where I can find this information would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Vicki

 

Vicki, the alternative: Start > All programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Information. Cheers Neil.

 

Another option is to download and install Belarc Advisor, a free program that will allow you to easily see an amazing amount of info about your system and what's in it.

Two additional free programs that display similarly detailed info are EVEREST Home Edition and SiSoft Sandra Lite.

 

Thanks for the info!

Thanks to everyone who supplied information on where I could find the information I needed. If someone wouldn't mind checking my specs to see if I have filled it in correctly? I still have a few questions as to where/why I couldn't find the following info:

1. video card
2. power supply
3. O/S--32 or 64 bit

I did "download" the Belarc Adviser (printed that out for my own quick reference!) Also checked using both the run>dixdiag and the system tools> system information, but I either couldn't understand where those items I couldn't find were listed or just I overlooked them.

Thanks again!
Vicki

 

Looks ok Vicki,

A couple of minor points

Not important (unless you have a H/Ware problem that could be RAM related), in SIW under Hardware->memory you should have a Memory type listed (eg DDR(PC1700) ), if you add them to your memory field it may come in handy.

As I said though it's not important so don't worry about it.

I would however suggest you upgrade to SP3, there have been several security updates since SP2 and SP2 will soon lose support from MS.

 

Updated

Thanks to everyone for all your assistance in helping me locate the information I needed to get my system specs filled in! Hopefully I never encounter any problems to the point of needing all of that, but at least now it's visible for anyone who assists me in case I do!

Thanks again!
Vicki

 

Glad we could help, change that (less than) to (more than) now
