    Lots of people on the forums are able to identify all their components very specifically (monitor, ram, hd manufacturer, etc). How do I find this out? All I see are general components on my bill Only way I could think of is to open up the computer and look for serials. Is there something I'm missing?

    downloaded cpu-z, and tested them out on my current lappy. Gave me all the info. Once I get my e1505, i'll be sure to check that too. Also dled everest and it displayed a lot of info, but on the site it says the freeware has been discontinued, so I don't know how well it'll work on a new laptop.
