Question Identifying Computer Hardware

Have just rebuilt an old PC I had, running Win98SE2, for use by a friend's child for browsing the internet. I have located most drivers for the kit, eg vga driver, etc.

However I can't identify other drivers as either the hardware is an intrinsinc part of the motherboard or the PCI card has no easily identifiable markers on it.

Is there a software tool that I could run (or other means) that would tell me what hardware is on the motherboard so that I can find the driver on the net? Need an answer fairly quickly.

As usual TIA for your responses.

Sandra is usually pretty good, and if you can track down an old version of Everest from the days it was free, so was that.

Digger, Meridian,

Thanks very much. Belarc isn't what I am looking for but Sandra certainly is!

Used to use this many moons ago and completely forgot about it. Nice looking interface as well, major change from the DOS days.

Thanks again.
