Website to tell you your PC Information?

[Kelemvor]

I've seen little utilities that can scan your computer and tell you tinigs about it (Processor, memory, hard drive, etc) but are there any websites that have built in utilities that do the same thing by running some sort of ActiveX or something on your computer?

Sister-in-law wants to ugrade her computer but has no idea what's in it. I thought if I could have her go to some website and let it scan her and rpeort back on the hardware, that'd make things really easy.

Anyone know of something that can do this?

Thanks.

EDIT: She's currently running Windows ME on an old Gateway computer... And she lives 3 hours away.

cpuz, have her ctrl printscreen or read it to you over the phone

CPUz is the best bet. How far away does she live? If it's not too far it might be easier for you to just go over there and install/read it for yourself.

Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Information

At least that's how you find out in Windows XP. But I'm pretty sure previous versions of Windows have something similar. I am also assuming your sisters computer is running some flavor of windows. You don't need a website to tell you this information.

Ask her which brand/model her computer is and just look it up yourself than trying to get her to figure it out
