Question: help me IT wizards!

I have about 10 working computers with clean XP installs from our office that we are trying to sell on Ebay... is there a website or program I could run that would show me all of the parts inside the machine it was run on? The motherboard, graphics card, CPU, ram etc...

I know how to find this all out manually, but it seems like there should be some program to do it for me. Then I can just copy / paste the output into ebay and not worry about getting some model number of a part messed up...

Any ideas?

System Information for Windows or Aida32 should do what you're looking for. They both generate reports for your computer's specs.

Belarc is free and ridiculously thorough. I recommend.

I find that just googling the model number usually does the trick.

You could try CPU-Z, is a freeware.

I don't know if this matters to you, but that Belarc advisor license seems to preclude free use for most organizations.

Thirding CPU-Z by a long mile.

if directx is installed (it almost certainly is) run dxdiag.
