The Linux distribution sites usually have some sort of hardware guide as well. Don't discount the manufacturers' support sites rather than the sales site. They might have a more technical spec sheet on their support sites. In general I think the major manufacturers have more stable hardware components. The lesser ones change them out as cheaper ones become available.
