    Hi,

    I had an application on my computer that told me what hardware I had installed on the computer. It was handy for finding out the type of ram and motherboard etc.

    The name of it escapes me though. Could anyone make some suggestions for a windows app that does this?

    Thanks,

    CPU Z is pretty good

    Also I like Speccy, it is a new program still in beta, works great on my 32 bit XP laptop, on my 64 bit Vista desktop, not so much.
