use “Belarc adviser”… it will let you know what kind of hardware you’re running :tup: [http://www.belarc.com/free\_download.html](http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html) edit: and when in doubt, look up serial/model numbers and/or ask here ---

hmmm, post pics of the interior of the machine and I’m sure we can tell ya “most” of whats in there. Then again, you may be sol until you install an OS as it’s usually pretty tight and I’m sure you don’t want to go tear the machine apart looking for individual piece parts did the person you got it from give you a list of the hardware installed? ---
