From the Start/Windows icon go to Computer and right click and on click on Properties.

Can't remember much else from there.

In dxdiag, look inside the display tab, then look at device.

Well I'll be going back to school soon and decided to get a new laptop. It isn't here yet, but these are the specs for it:

Processor: 2nd generation Intel Core i7-2620M processor 2.70 GHz w/ Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 3.40 GHz

Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M 3GB graphics w/ Optimus

RAM: 6GB Shared Dual Channel DDR3 Memory

Hard Drive: 640GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive

Screen is 17.3" FHD (1080p)

Also using a 90 WHr 9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery..which I don't really know how to translate that (haha), I just know that it can last around 7 hours or so unplugged.

These are the specs for my desktop:

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)^2 Quad CPU Q6660 @ 2.40GHz 2.39GHz

Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT

RAM: 3.00 GB

Monitor: 23" Widescreen, 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz resolution (Though I'm sure the monitor is fine haha)

I was thinking my desktop may need an upgrade eventually? It's ran games like Final Fantasy XI, World of Warcraft and Mass Effect II and some other smaller games (free MMOs or offline games) on some pretty high settings (if not max..it's been awhile) very well. Thought I'd get some other opinions?

damn..... i really do hope that your laptop has some insane cooling power cause thats a lot of stuff for a laptop. i have the same stuff almost just a little under, and my laptop gets really hot sometimes. just make sure you keep that thing nice and cool cause i always feel like my laptop is gonna blow up from the heat(i bought a fan for it so i can put under it) also your Desktop is pretty much in the shitter.

I know it meets the minimum alpha specifications. He specifically asked what he should upgrade to get better frame rates at higher graphics settings, though. The answer is both the CPU and graphics card, in addition to the memory.

The CPU is outdated and needs replacing, however I'd probably have to change sockets to properly upgrade it which means buying another motherboard, which means changing out and upgrading my RAM. The graphics card, is it that bad? I bought it a year ago and even though it was a lower or middle end card(still $140 though) I was under the impression it was pretty decent.

AMD e350. Hoping I can manage this game on low settings.
