Application Needed for Detecting PC's Hardware

[muthabored]

Hello all...

I remember reading a post recently regarding an application(s) that can be installed/ran on a PC or laptop that will tell you what hardware's installed/the manufacturer of said hardware (systemboard, memory, optical drives, etc.).

Does anyone know of any off hand? I'm working on a PC that I had to rebuild and can't find the sound drivers for it.

Try System Information for Windows 1.67 (available from

Aida32 3.94.2 (available from

http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/AIDA-Download-6969.html)

is also very good but hasn't been updated since 2004.

Hope this helps...

I like the Belarc Advisor which is freeware.

This is a handy Scan for missing drivers.

Is it a separate Sound Card, or part of the Motherboard? If the latter, do you have a CD for the Motherboard?

The sound is integrated. The PC doesn't belong to me and the owner seems to have misplaced all of the software that came with the PC (which was custom built). I tried looking on the systemboard for the model number/manufacturer but could find nothing.
