When your computer starts, you have a black screen with lots of informations on it. From up to bottom, you have the BIOS manufacturer (AWARD, AMI, PHOENIX), the motherboard model and firmware number, CPU, amount of memory, drives..and so. If you press the Pause/Break key, this screen remains unchanged untill another key is pressed. So, you can read all that informations.
Also you can use applications designed for this, such as Everest, unknown device identifier and so...
