CPUZ - CPUZ is an excellent little program that gives you tons of information about your CPU, RAM, and motherboard. It identifies your CPU including manufacturing technology, cache sizes, cores, voltages, etc. It also provides info about your motherboard including northbridge and southbridge chipset info. And lastly it identifies your RAM, how much, how many slots, what size stick in each slot, etc.
GPUZ - GPUZ is not written by the same people as CPUZ, but clearly by the name they are going for name recognition. GPUZ does a great job of identifying your graphics processor. It can tell you the manufacturing technology, number of shaders, DirectX support level, memory size, clock rates, etc.
DiscInfo - DiscInfo is a simple little program that displays info about optical drives. It will show you a huge list of what the hardware supports, so you can see what types of discs the drive can burn. It also shows you the drive firmware so you can see if there is a newer firmware available from the manufacture. Below is a screenshot of the hardware capabilities of my DVD drive.
Download these 3 programs, they are all small simple programs but they provide very useful information.
