RAM),
CPU (speed, stepping etc), Graphics card (ram, bios etc).

Hi Sparky

Thanks for replying with the info.

PC-Check looks great. I'm sure its fantastic as a professional tool
but it is way over my budget!!

As I'm lilely to only need use of such a tool once in a blue moon its
not worth the outlay to me. I'd prefer a lower cost shareware utility
if such a thing exists.

Ian

Try the DOS version of HWiNFO: http://www.hwinfo.com/




Thanks Steven

The screen shoots of what it does look superb and just what I'm after.

Dont know what it costs yet - hope its within my budget - just
downloaded it to try out.

$20 for the DOS version and $25 for the version that works with WinXP.

You could took a trial version, make a FD & before using it made an
image on your HD... than when time expires, just put that FDimage back
on FD...
