How can I determine a computer's specs? [closed]

I have a client who has a computer they want to upgrade. They are unable to tell me the specs of this computer and they're not the type of person I could walk it through with.

"PC Wizard should have some easy centralized computer information to tell you.
This is from the same makers of CPU-Z and it is completely free.

"For years Karen Kenworthy has written VB utility programs for free distribution as part of a newsletter she puts out (source code available). There are several that are fantastic and can be found at http://www.karenware.com/powertools/powertools.asp
There is one that could be of particular value in this case called ""Computer Profiler"". I can recommend several of these little gems personally."

Astra32 is another good choice, but you can't save reports with the free version. Great for onsite with a thumb drive, though.
