How do I find out what kind of desktop computer this is?

Question

I got a used computer from a friend that knows nothing about it. I know it's a Dell, is running Windows 98, has 192 mb of RAM, and has a Pentium III processor. Other than the ethernet and phone modem PCI cards (obviously), it's running on integrated systems. Other than that, I know bupkus. How can I find out more info such as...

specific model name
processing speed
date of manufacture

Thanks for all your help!!

Blessings

Hello

Most Dell system have an Identity number on the back of the model case, please look for a white sticker. Some times it is hidden on the pull out panel on certain models.

You should be able to go to Dell and then use this ident code to identify the model here:
http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/product_support/en/product_support_central?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs

Or right hand click the my computer link and select properties. 

All the best

Go to Help, and search for "System Information"

It will give you a link, click on that, and you will find all the system information through it, including the registered model names.
