Hi everyone. :)

I apologize if this is not the right forum. Couldn't find one general enough about hardware. :\

<!-- First off I am using Windows --!>

I am in need of finding specific information about my computer's hardware. Is that possible? :\

I already know how to view the hardware through My Computer and Control Panel, but I need more specific information that what is generated.

Below is the information I need to know. I look to upgrade my PC, or sell it...not sure yet, all I know is that I need a better solution. I am currently on an Intel Celeron (not even D) 2.2ghz processor with only 632mb of RAM. :eek: Unit has not been performing well for my business needs..

I need to know:
  1. What type of motherboard and model am I currently using? By looking inside the case, I can tell that it has the ASUS brand name on it. I'd like to see the model number and general type of motherboard it is.
  2. What model number is my graphics card? I know it's an nVidia GeForce...but I am unsure of the model!
  3. Is a video and graphics card the same? >_<; If not, how can I find out what type of video card I have? If a nVidia GeForce is a video card, how can I find out what kind of graphics card I have? =P
  4. How can I tell what brand/model number my hard drives are, and what RPM they have?
  5. How can I view the brand/model number of my sound card?
  6. Is there a way I can see what type of power supply my PC has, and what fan/cooling system it has?
  7. How can I find out the brand names and model numbers of my optical (CD R/RW and DVD R/RW) drives?

Well, I think that's all I need to know right now. :whistling: Sorry for so many questions, but you'll never know the answer without asking.

Heck, maybe this thread might even be worth a sticky one day for n00bs like me. :o

Thank you in advance for your answers and reply!

Thanks a lot for that. My PC is really crappy...I realize this now.

Let's see a nice 100k front side bus processor I have with 128kb l2 cache.

GeForce 5500 FX ew..

Well then.. -_-
