If you’re ever looking to upgrade the RAM on your PC or replace the motherboard or muck about in any way with the guts of your computer, it’s important to know exactly what hardware is already installed.

For example, when adding RAM, you need to match the type and speed of memory that’s already in your PC. No mixing and matching.

But if you’re like most computer users, you have no idea what’s under your PC’s hood.

I recommend a free program called System Information for Windows.

This small application works for every version of Windows from Windows 98 up to Vista 64-bit, and gives you an easy-to-read inventory of all the hardware and software in your PC.

It’s the sort of program that Microsoft should have built in to Windows, it’s that useful.
