    How do I find out my own computer's specs?

    I am thinking about buying a new computer. I do not know the specs to my old computer, and I needed help as to how I can find out the specs of the somputer I currently own. I do not have a manual, receipt, or anything- only the computer. Also, I wanted advice: Is a 2.8 Ghz, 512 MB RAM, 80 GB hard drive, HP INtel Celeron 335 Pavilion PC worth $300 brand new?

    HP:

    Hard to say without the specific model # but as you see they start at $250.

    Specs without downloads?

    Try browsing your Device Manager: Start/Run/ devmgmt.msc

    Or dXdiag: Start/Run/ dxdiag

    Belarc shows alot more detail.

    Thanks. I have another question. In the My Computer screen, when I click on the C: Drive, it says my comp. has a max capacity of 28.4 GB storage. Is that the hard drive storage amount? Also, the comp I was thinking about is the HP a1000y, since it has Intel Celeron 335. THanks a lot for your help!

    See Disk Management for more details on drives.

    Start/Run/ diskmgmt.msc

    If it says 28.4 total then you probably have a 30gig drive.
