More Hardware Info
In April I recommended several ways to
get the details on your hardware.
Reader Sam Noe of Spring Valley, New York, pointed me to two others: one built
into Windows, and the other freeware. The first is Windows' own DirectX
Diagnostic Tool. To launch the tool, select Start,
Run, type dxdiag, and press
Enter. Much of the information given there is about
DirectX, but the applet also displays lots of hardware information. For a more
thorough report on your hardware, try Tamas Miklos' AIDA32, which is
free for nonprofessional use.
