Image via WikipediaIt's hard to ascertain what hardware you have in certain cases. Albeit a quick look at System settings [Start>Control Panel>System, on Windows XP] will give you a overview of system resources.It's a bit trickier to know what parts are compatible with your system if you want to upgrade or check if your hardware is capable of running software or games that you want to. Most newer machines bought in the last 8 - 6 months will be up to par, unless if you bought a net book, or really low end system. But, if you have an older laptop, like I do, it'll be well worth it to know what you can actually put into your system or what will actually run on your system before committing.
There are several sites out there which can do a quick scan of your system to give pertinent information. Two that I use are
- Can you run it? powered by System Requirements Lab compares your system specs
with the minimum and recommended requirements of popular pc games. - Crucial System Scanner tool checks how much system memory you have and what upgrade options are available. It also lets you order the parts on the site itself.
