How to identify PC components?

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.gateway2000 (More info?)

You can try using the serial number at support.gateway.com - if that
doesn't bring up a list, you'll have to open the system and visually
inspect each component for its Gateway part number (usually on a
dot-matrix sticker affixed to each part) and then look up the details.

Thank you for your speedy reply. I did as you suggested and the site did
recognize the SN but I didn't find the list, I may not be seeing it, can you
tell me where to look for it?

There should be a "Go to my Support" link somewhere on the page.
