I would like to gather information about the hardware, to avoid opening 
the case to find out what it contain,  so it drivers are missing I can 
search the web for  the driver. I usually use the HWID (VEN_xxxx&DEV_xxxx)


Getting information is nice, but  how do you define performance of a 
system?. I do not want something very accurate, just a number so I could 
decide:
"every system below XXX numbe does not run properly with windows XP" 
"This AMD based system is similar on performance to this Intel system"

I use that for double boot systems (ubuntu/windows XP)

ok, I mainly use Acer, does not have that ability. But I use seatools 
for the harddrives:
