If Windows supports it, simply right click on "My Computer" and select properties.
Otherwise, try a free program called everest home edition. It is very popular and useful for providing information about your computer.
I have attached a link to the software creator of everest.
Hope this helps!

I don't know how advanced you are with regards to a PC.
try this bandwidth speed test first.

OK......first off all PC runs slow because of all the crap that are on them first thing is to clean it all up.
open Internet explorer,find tools,Internet options,you need to delete files,cookies, history,delete all.
Find days to keep history,I'm sure you have it on 20 or 21,every time you visit a web page this stays on your hard drive,that's why pages take so long to load,Because its searching your hard drive......put it on zero,Or the lowest you are able,click apply.
OK that's cleaned a little.
Next click start,all programmes,accessories,system tools.disk clean up,do both drives.
Next click start again,all programmes,accessories,system tools,disk defragment,analyze both c and d to see if they both need a degragment.
Here is a free virus scanner link,by far the best i ever seen.

A computer needs baby sitting and has to be cleaned up regularly.I do this at least 2 times a week.
one other thing you can do is to click run, in run type in msconfig/SERVICES,START UP
Here is your system configuration,which show you what programmes are starting up,be carefull not to disable what you don't recognize,msn,you will see in there,Example that you can stop this if you wish,look around to see what you want to start up or not...?

Yeah, press ctrl alt delete like Joe 10 said, and click on the various tabs until you see the 'Computer Usage' part. You can also see it on certain flashy keyboards that have an LCD screen.

Ctrl+Alt+Del then click view and there should be an update speed. You can choose low, normal, and high.
Usually it's set to normal but I put it on high.
