There are a number of ways to do this.





The easiest would be to use the Microsoft System Information Tool.





To start Microsoft System Information, use either of the following methods:





* Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Information.





* Click Start, click Run, type msinfo32.exe in the Open box, and then click OK.





This will give you the info you listed above.
