Today I helped bring my college buddy's Dell laptop back from a BSOD (corrupt registry). I had to reinstall Windows to another directory, just to be able to boot the machine, and get the data off the HD.

Anyway, then I had to hassle with Dell to find what drivers I needed for her machine. Turns out, given a service tag number, you can get the list of original hardware that you bought.

So...here is mine, for future reference:
Service Tag: 8SMM071
Purchased: 3/25/2005
Inspiron 6000
Pentium M 1.86 GHz, 533 FSB
1 GB RAM
60 GB HD
Video Card: 6000 (?) 128 MB (ATI Mobility Radeon x300)
Broadcom 440x 10/100 integrated ethernet controller
Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG Wireless Network

Original System Configuration
