Belarc advisor does it all... and telling the OP that takes only one

Not necessarily.

Using Firefox, a page appears with the following text:

Browser Incompatibility

The online Crucial System Scanner requires Internet Explorer browser and
the use of ActiveX® technology to scan your system. If you use a
different Web browser, such as Opera™ or Mozilla's Firefox™, please use
our 112KB downloadable System Scanner instead.

Our downloadable System Scanner allows you to run the Crucial System
Scanner locally — get upgrade results on Crucial.com in any browser with
an internet connection.

While that's a nice philosophy and we're awed by the depth and breadth
of your knowledge, it's a ridiculous thought when one visits a website
of a reputable manufacturer or other entity.

CPU-Z is a freeware program that will tell you. Google it.
