i know about the rebooting one, i just wanted to avoid telling him or her to look at the post during the booting process.
if you open word and go to help, about MS WORD, click on SYSTEM INFO. this tells you all kinds of stuff, too.
it's not always good common sense to say to some one to look at the messages when booting. if you don't know what to look for, ...... how do you know what to see?
i like the idea of having an application tell me all kinds of things about my computer, but i don't like downloading applications just for that; this is why i like the system info in word. i'll try it on my computer at home, tho. thanks for that link.
some people don't have the path to system tools or the tools inside it. it depends upon the OS and who installed the OS.

bkmunroe,
I deleted your post because it contained a link to an auto download page and it's possible that curious people would click on it thinking it was informational.
Please don't post it again but feel free to post a link to a page that leads to the download page, should one desire it.

Sorry about the autodownload thing, but it didn't autodownload for me. Maybe my settings are different then yours.
Anyway here's the link to the home page. Then click on 'Try Belarc' to go to the downoad page.

Windows OS
Right click on the "My Computer" icon. The first screen should show the name and type of processer and the amount of RAM.
(Response to a similar suggestion was "Where do I write "click", there's no space to do it?)

by OS, i mean windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000. you can do a left click on your start button and the popup menu will have the OS designation on the side.
95, 98, ME -- when you do a right click on the my computer icon and then select properties, you get different information than NT and 2000.
for 95, 98, ME, this action will tell you which brand of processor, but not the speed. best bet is to use the one in MS WORD.
for NT and 2000, left click on start, select programs, select administrative tools (common), select diagnostics. this will tell you the processor speed.
