any good light shareware/freeware to detect hardware configuration?

[Zhao Peng]

I don't know what operating system is on that desktop, but I suppose 
it's not Linux.

So my question might well be off-topic here, but I wanted to try my luck 
here, since this group looks very active and you guys are quite 
responsive to any question, including a recent thread about "where to 
buy a new system" :)

Thanks,
Zhao
