My computer runs XP Professional. How do I find out what sound card and what
video card I have? (I would like to know make and model number.) I tried
Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Information and cannot
find this information. Also, I would like to know and make and model number
of my CD/DVD read drive and my CD/DVD burner drive.

I also tried the properties window, Hardware tab, but it gives only a
limited amount of information:

DVDRW IDE 1008 DVD/CD-ROM drives
JLM XJ-HD 166S DVD/CD-ROM drives

Thanks in advance!

Jack Fu

If you are buying a used computer AIDA32 or Bel Arc Advisor
are faster and more accurate than opening the computer and
using a magnifying glass to read the details. Most commonly
available sales brochures do not list the details of mobo,
CPU or RAM type.

Well, if you don't have the PC's manual, and don't want to open
the case and look, these three utilities are quite useful:

Belarc Advisor
