this tools is cool for several reasons; one is to profile your system and the other
is to verify OS updates without the need for IE :)

Belarc (http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html)

I myself like PC Wizard 2008.

I prefer SIW. Very thorough

I use Everest Home Edition, http://www.majorgeeks.com/EVEREST_Free_Edition_d4181.html
Good Luck:cool:

Another vote for both Belarc and SIW with a lean toward SIW. Both are free and will give you what you are looking for.
