Hello everyone, I apologize in advance for my simple question.

I've upgraded to Vista and I am unsure how to find where my processor or graphics cards. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Dunno about Vista but on XP a popular way to find this info is to do Start->Run and run the dxdiag.exe program. That'll tell you lots about your system.

Again, for at least XP, right click 'My Computer' and go to properties.

In there it tells you some specs, including processor and amount of RAM in the lower section on the right (In the general tab)

Like this computer says

AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile
Technology ML-40
1.77 GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM
Physical Address Extension


The top line is the processor type, and the start of the third is processor speed.

Second life has a nice display of computer information in Help > About. My processor shows up as Unknown, but it at least knows the speed. (^_^)
