Free software that will show my hardware specs?
Anyone know of any free software that will show me exactly what hardware my notebook is running?

try Belarc. Gives a report of hardware, user accounts, Windows upates, and a list of all installed software.

I've found SIW to be handy. No installation required and a very small footprint.

CPU-Z is the standard for CPU, motherboard and memory information - it, however, lacks facilities for graphics card and peripheral info, as well as the software data. In its niche, however, it provides probably the most detailed overview while being extremely lightweight.
EDIT: For filling in those gaps, the integrated Windows System Information tool is more then sufficient.

Running dxdiag is always a good baseline for trying to work out what you've got, before installing strange, foreign programs. Start->Run->dxdiag.
Unless you don't have DirectX. It's a little harder, then.
