| 01:47.24 | drewbono | I assume I can just emerge it, right? |
| 01:47.52 | bigdog_ut | yep...but depends on your server too...gnome has messed it up in the past |
| 01:48.55 | drewbono | so at the risk of sounding blasphemous, does anyone know the easiest way to get hardware info in windows? |
| 01:48.57 | bigdog_ut | drewbono, what managers have you used? |
| 01:49.24 | drewbono | I have to get more RAM for a machine and I'm too lazy to open the box and see what motherboard it has. |
| 01:49.27 | bigdog_ut | drewbono, yeah pull up the hardware by right clicking on your "my computer" icon |
| 01:50.03 | bigdog_ut | there is a hardware tab i think |
| 01:51.38 | drewbono | Yeah...I can't seem to find anything super useful there. |
| 01:51.44 | drewbono | The device manager, right? |
| 01:52.02 | bigdog_ut | yeah, i doubt you are going to get the name of the motherboard |
| 01:53.47 | drewbono | if only they had a /proc filesystem in windows... |
| 01:53.58 | bigdog_ut | registry...lol |
