You can look at System in the control panel (classic view) to find some very limited data. However you may wish to download a program such as SANDRA from www.downloads.com

You could try Everest. That shows you all the information of your computer, it's hardware and software status and many many more...

how would i install a new videocard?
i have a intergrated 32mb videocard
and i have 1 AGP slot free.
EDIT: do i have to have the same amount of ram in both slots? or can i get a 512mb and put it in with my 256mb?

to install it you need to open up your case, put it in the agp slot (if its an agp graphics card) the computer should reconize that u have a new card and run off that one. once windows has loaded and everything u may have to install some drivers which should come with the card normally on a cd. once you have your graphics workin and everything. restart your computer and go onto bios, once in there u will be able to disable the on board graphics card so that it doesn't take up any of your ram. however u may want to leave it enabled incase u have any problems with the new card
