Hi Ralph,

digest)...

(1) I don't have windows except on a single computer I own
(2) for most hardware information this is more than enough (and
sometimes redundent)
  (a) lshw
  (b) smartmontools
  (c) hdparm
  (d) lm-sensors
  (e) what was this ECC memory testing thingy again... starts with an e
  (f) /proc
  (g) /sys
  (h) lspci
  (i) lsusb
(3) For example what I'm currently looking for is a tool, telling me,
what kind of memory resides in which memory slot, plus telling me the
content of the SPD, but I have not yet looked extensively. If you happen
to know about this (under Linux), I'd appreciate any help.

Cheers

Carsten
