I'm not completely sure, but I think that it has been only males who have contributed to this thread. Does anyone else see the irony. I mean, it's obvious what this is really all about, isn't it?

errr.... I have been looking in. I have no idea where to find all that information. But I have been looking at all the numbers and sizes and thinking "it's not the pen, it's the penmanship". So I guess you are right, maybe.
I ended up thinking that I could have a big fancy computer with all the bells and whistles and still couldn't make it sing without more skill.

Lol GM you can see all these infos in System Properties it tells you almost everything if you have Windows Xp (it tells more!) To find out more about hardwares.. use the Device manager it'll tell u about devices on your comp and if those devices are working properly or if its in a bad shape

Adni...is there any chance I could sneak over to your place and 'borrow' your comp on a 'permanent' basis?
You may call it 'theft'...I'd call it 'upgrade'....
