scroll down if you dont feel like reading my worthless superfluous information to go right to the question
yea so i woke up this morning to a lovely pancake breakfast.. only to be barraged with a million questions about computers...
basically i built my dad a computer a couple of months ago, and of course my mom yelled at me when i initially tried to make him a more expensive computer so that he could theoretically play a game or two, so than i eventually got him a decent computer for web browsing
but now my mom feels that he should have a game, i tried explaining to them that i didnt get him a good enough video card to do anything like that... and that she should have listened to me originally.. but alas...
also.. the same delicious pancake breakfast was tainted with questions about my neighbors computer.. Basically he wants to play a WW2 flight simulator.. now years ago i had told him(this was before he 'upgraded').. that i could make him a decent and cheap gaming/websurfing machine... but instead he ordered some other dude to make him the cheapest computer possible.. i already checked it out and i cant see why the guy would have put a video card in this thing....
anyways, i get laughed at everytime i try and explain that they need somewhat decent hardware to run those games... but am i wrong?
my basic question is, whats a good program to toss on these computers to get a definitive list of what hardware is in it, so than i can post these results and discuss on here what is the best(smartest?) upgrades to allow them to play some games.
