You might be wondering exactly what I mean when I say, audit your PC. I mean find out exactly what is in your PC, this means hardware and software. There are a few programs that will allow you to do this in just a matter of minutes. The first, which has been around for at least 6 years is Belarc Advisor. This program will quickly scan your PC and display a web page with all of the make and model numbers of your hardware, as well as all of your software that is installed on your PC. It is a good idea to run this and print a copy for your records.
Another great program called Speccy gives you all of the info needed except software, but it does also monitor your hard drive temp. It's a good way to take a peek under the hood, or determine if your computer can be upgraded or not based on it's specs.
