Cpu-Z
http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php

It doesnt require installation, it runs as is. It provides some hardware info:

Cpu (model, fsb,ratio,instruction sets, revision etc, L1 & L2 cache etc)
Mobo (info,bios, pcie lanes)
Ram (timmings, ratio and spd for each module)

Everest Ultimate, PCWizard, or just run dxdiag and see what shows up.

I think he means via booting from a USB stick!

You could install windows onto a usb stick using "BartPE" Then install the above programs, you can also include stuff like Orthos/prime95 etc
OR just use something like FeatherLinux

Neat little exe that tells you all kinds of stuff, even the pesky little s/n that you lost.

You can even get the software with your company logo in it I believe....if you're paying for it.

WCPU is another type like CPU-Z, but it gives other information that CPU-Z doesn't. I use both since neither program covers it all.

Another is the BELARC ADVISOR. This one is really handy since it tells not only the hardware side, but the softwares loaded on the machine and what release level their at. It will also tell the Windows Updates loaded in the machine as well.
