    Is there any software out there that could tell me the hardware specs of my laptop (acer 5520)? I have tried CPUz, but I doubt the results of it. The acer software, e management setting, doesn't tell me my chipset. (which is he main thing I am interested in)

    Thank You

    Why do you not trust CPUz? What are you looking for?

    CPUz told me that my chipset is Nvidia nForce 560. could it be possible? I was more looking in line of a mobile chipset like the 610M. Acer website says that I have a ATi M690.

    OK try SiSoft. I do understand your confusion and unhappyness. Yes it is possible to have that chipset with AMD or Intel. Tell us what you have and we can tell you if it sounds f###ed up!
