Hi. I have a Dell computer with Windows XP Home. I'm wondering if there is a
place to go where I can locate my computer specs., like the size of the hard
drive and memory, the processor type, etc.

1) Dell's Support web site. http://support.dell.com/ After logging
in, enter your PC's serial number in the Service Tag field.
2) The invoice that came with the computer will specify what you

3) The box the computer came in usually has this information on a label
on its exterior.
