[Sussex] establishing system spec - applications ??

[John D.]

Hi list,

is there an application that will identify bits of hardware in my system 
rather than having to pull it apart too find out what some (preferably 
all) the components are?

I'm trying to suss the graphics card specifically as I've been thinking 
of upgrading. As far as I can establish, it's an AGP x2 generic Nvidia 
geforce 4 mx 420. though when I check out AGP, it appears that it may, 
or may not be backwards compatible in respect of the type of slot and 
the operating voltage - cos theres little point getting something "off 
the shelf" if it's not going to work.

Any other info that I can get on the system (again, preferably as much 
as possible) would be excellent for further reference.

regards

John D.
