PC Identification Details - software needed

[Newsgroup]

I am trying to find a free(ware) software that will allow me to find out
details about my PC; such as chipset, motherboard, number of PCI/AGP slots,
HDDs info etc...

Appreciate if someone can guide me to such a freeware.

Also, anyone know any FAQs or such that explain the above hardwares etc..
specifically with the aim of upgrading or getting a new PC?
