Check Hardware; no OS

[Ubrales]

Scenario: Computer with no Operating System.

Is there a way to check hardware details without having to dis-assemble the entire computer and examine individual parts?

I would like to have info such as displayed by "Speccy", "CPUID" "Belarc Advisor" (no OS installed on computer). Don't tell me to read the specs. on the computer - I want to verify the specs.

Thank you!

yes, use a linux distro like ubuntu. just download an image, burn it to a cd or flash drive, and boot from it. you wont have to install it or anything, just run it in "live" or "trial" mode. to see your hardware, go to applications->accessories->terminal and type "lspci" and "lshw" to list all your installed hardware.
