    Go to ma-config.com and run the detection it'll give you the hardware info.
    Or install hwinfo and look there for your components.
    There are many other software like this that will give you system information just google ;)

    EDIT: that's a m17x R2 you got there:
    1 3N81D Module,Processor,Clarksfield,I5-520M,2.4,M17X
    1 K972H Module,Adapter,Alternating Current,240W,Delta - Ac Adapt World Wide
    1 XN8WW Module,Information,CHASSIS,Silver,M17X

    Also entering your service tag on dell's website will give you more info.
    Cheers

    As I understand from your pm this is a replacement unit and I believe you have an older AW model or a Dell XPS etc.
    If a service tag is not mentioned and nothing like a video card name than I guess you'll find out what GPU type you have when it arrives.
    I don't know if calling Dell will help you find out but hey at least it'll be better than what you have(hopefully :p)
    Just be patient ;)

    Hehehe
    Out of curiosity what's the system to be replaced?
    Didn't they tell you that they're planing to do it?

    It looks like the system was taken apart and not put together very well.
