Hardware Analysis

[xtremo]

Can anybody recommend an utility for hardware analysis on Jaunty.....along the lines of Sisoft Sandra, Everest etc?

It's looking like I may have to flash the bios so I want to be 100% certain of the specs.

Many thanks!

Open a terminal and type:

sudo lshw > hardware.txt
gedit hardware.txt

Alternative: paste this text into the terminal and press enter.
Note: This file will contain information on all of your hardware. That is a lot of info. BIOS and MB info should be in the beginning. Example:
