Hi just thought I'd mention something I saw today that might be useful for users trying to get their computer specs for posts. It's called speccy, it's a BETA program by Piriform. I figured using that should be easier than hunting all over windows for different hardware specs. I thought you might want to add it as a suggested program in the Bug Report Forum Rules or something.
As for the subject name I figured I'd make it something that could be reused (especially if it becomes a sticky).

It's non-free software (closed source), there is a lot of trouble with using such stuff.

Freeware is not free -- it's simply cost nothing, but user trust to developer. If you plan to link something into whole pcsx2 project, you better think about source code of this stuff: if no source code presented, than this stuff is non-free, closed-source. License could be changed at any moment and pcsx2 become law-violated software.

Windows 7 64bit
Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 OC to 3.6GHz, Intel GMA x4500, 1GB DDR2
Might just work on next guide

yea, I was just posting some suggestions.
But Its probably easy for the developers here to create their own software that scans your computer specs.
