Default What exactly are these hardware components

I found on the User CP under Options > Thread Display Options that I can provide details on some hardware components of my computer.

So, what exactly are these components? I want to fill in these details, but want to make sure that I put in the right information.

CPU - Is that my Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.90GHz in System Properties > General tab?

Motherboard - No idea.

Make and amount of RAM - I know what RAM (random access memory ) is, and I know how much I have, but how do I find the make?

Make and model of hard drive - I have no idea of how to find this.

Make and model of graphics card - I have no idea of how to find this.

Make and model of sound card - I have no idea of how to find this.

What operating system do you have? - This I know.

What monitor/screen do you have? - I know I am using a CRT monitor (I think...); it says Hewlett Packard and Pavilion on it, but does this CP hardware field ask for more than that?

Who is your Internet service provider? - This I know.

Thanks!

I would use PC Wizard 2008 , run it, then copy the info it provides. It provides EXPLICIT detail about all your hardware. Thanks!

Can I mark this as "Resolved", or do have any questions or concerns?
