| There's a better and more complete way of getting the details of your computer rather than using the DirectX Diagnostic command in Windows--actually, there are many. One of the ways is to use a nice little program by Lavalys called Everest Home Edition (it's free). It will obtain and report DETAILED information about your computer--motherboard manufacturer, model number, specs, etc. RAM type, speed, latencies, bandwidth. CPU ID, etc., Graphics adapter, etc. I think you get the point... dxdiag is not a bad way of getting quick info about your computer, but it is by no means detailed or all-inclusive. I also like to use Everest Home Edition as my memory bandwidth benchmark--when I choose to tweak FSB/voltage/multiplier/latency settings, it's a great tool.

| You can also get some more "raw" information by going: Start > Run (Windows Key + R), type msinfo32 and hit enter. You can also Export those details, which can be useful for troubleshooting. I'm guessing that would be msinfo64 for 64-Bit users.
