System Information Utilities
The Windows System Information utility collects information about your computer system and then displays it back to you in an organized menu format. By using this utility you will be able to see a detailed listing of your System’s Configuration as well as information regarding your System’s Components. This can be quite useful especially if you find yourself on the phone with a Support Technician who needs this information to help you resolve a problem.
However I have found 2 better utilities:
1. Belarc Advisor from Belarc.com. This program produces a very detailed report of both your computer hardware & installed software. The program also checks a database to verify your Windows OS is up to date for those all important security patches.
The report produced is readable in your browser. From there you can save a copy to disk or print a hard copy. However, you must re-run the Advisor, to update the report after installing any new hardware/software/updates.

2. Auslogics System Information from Auslogics. This utility provides comprehensive and easy to understand information about your system configuration.
It will show hardware configuration, video-card information, OS details, list of running processes, and other information. This information can be saved as a file and sent to technical support. And it’s absolutely FREE.
