A program that tells you what hardware you got!

[brunkke]

I need to know a good program that tells me exactly what kind of hardware a computer has. Do you have any suggestions!?

In linux, the lspci utility can usually tell you 99% of what you need to know.


In Windows, I prefer AIDA32, a free diagnostics, benchmarking and identification utility.

For windows Belarc Advisor gives a good concise view of the main points.

The above-mentioned Aida32 is no longer supported and has name-changed into Everest.
Everest Home Edition, free at www.lavalys.com

one of the better freeware programs is the new SIW (System Information for Windows)

Don't forget about plain old system information, which is part of windows.
