This section will discuss how to find
system information from any computer running Windows. This section
will also show how to view information such as the type of operating
system, the processor type, and the type and amount of Random Access Memory (RAM) that is installed. To view information about the system,
go to the Start menu and choose Programs > Accessories >
System
Tools > System Information.
These steps are similar for Windows
2000 and Windows 98/ME.
The window that opens gives the Operating System (OS) name and
version, the system manufacturer and model, the processor type and
manufacturer, the BIOS version, and the memory.

text editor. The contents will be similar to what is shown in Figure
