Hi,

How can I detect the physical capabilities of the CPU and HDD, other than
reading what the vendor gave me? Especially, I want to know how much is the
L2 cache of the CPU/processor and whether the HDD have SMART and supports
UltraDMA xx.

TIA

CPUID for the CPU. For the hard drive, just open up the case and read the
model number. At worst, you might have to temporarily remove the hard drive
to read the model number. But this should only take a philips screwdriver
to do. Then go to the web site of whoever manufactured the hard drive and
look up the specs. If you don't know the web site, go to www.pricewatch.com
, search for a hard drive of the same brand name. Then click on the
manufacturer and you will be directed to the manufacturer's web site. -Dave
