A program that tells you what hardware you got!

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

System specs
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.

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

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