    Couple of very useful (and free) progs spring to mind.

    Belarc - http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

    and

    Everest Home Edition - http://www.lavalys.com/products/overview.php?pid=1&lang=en&pageid=1

    Both will give you a detailed summary of the hardware and software on your PC.

    Reboot and hit the pause key when the POST screen comes up. Some off the shelf store bought jobbers may have a splash screen you have to disable in the bios in order to see the POST screen though.

    Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Information is another way.

    Or Device Manager

    Etc, etc.

    Also you can run the dxdiag command from a prompt and when the DirectX utility window pops up and loads you can flip through the tabs and get all the peripheral info....on the last tab there's a button to launch MS System Info...

    MOBO & AGP info is all listed in the MS System Info on the summary page.
