How do I find out my system's specs?

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Is there anyway to find out what graphic card you have and all your system specs (and other graphic things)? Like one of those internet pages that tell you or somewhere you can go on your computer?

i've been noticing my comp lags like hell whenever there are 3d shadows in a game, or that might just be in CnC Generals... Anyways, I have no idea what my machine is capable of.

Search for something called System Information for Windows. My dad says it's the best so far.

Thanks a lot. This thing IS pretty good.

Sandra is also very useful.

Who/What is Sandra?
SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility. It should provide most of the information (including undocumented) you need to know about your hardware, software and other devices whether hardware or software.

Turns out I have an Intel 910VG (something in the like) graphics card. Now, I don't know how good that is, but I'm gonna take a big guess and say it sucks, seeing as there are graphic cards with 8800 in their name and mine has 910.

As you can see, I don't know much about graphic cards.

or you could go to device manager which will tell you what your proccessor is.

Plus you should jot down somewhere when installing new parts for your computer...

Thats what i do. (I never ever bought a fully working pc, because i build mine.)

EVEREST is good, it also has lots of diagnostics stuff.

but yeh system info and device manager are usually the easiest and quickest ways.
