Moderators - if this is in the wrong forum, please move it to the correct one.
In response to the amount of people I have seen not being sure on what their system specifications are, I have created a utility that will give this information to them - all that needs to be done is simply starting the utility.
Any comments/questions etc about this utility can be made to myself either via this thread, or by PM if it is sensitive.
This tool can be downloaded from my tutorial website, which can be reached from the link in my signature, then clicking the 'System Info Utility' link on the right-hand side of the page.
System requirements for this tool are mentioned on the website page.
A direct link to the relevant page is http://shaneturner12.awardspace.co.uk/trainzdata/index.php?page=system-info-utility.
Be aware that the tool displays the driver date in reverse UK order - 20120105 equates to 05/01/2012.
Current Features
The tool can detect:
System Make and Model
Operating System
Free/Total physical memory
Graphics card (including video memory,driver version,and driver date)
Processor (including how many, and clock speed)
Physical drives including how much space is free
Detected DirectX version (due to a limitation in Windows, this will not be able to tell you whether it is up to date - to check this, use my Updating DirectX thread)
This information can be saved to a Rich Text Format file, or quickly copied to the Clipboard for pasting in a forum post.
Future Features
Detection of antivirus/firewall software
Reasonable feature requests
As this is my first utility that is Trainz-related, I welcome comments/suggestions, but please make them reasonable.
Also let me know if the tool is not working correctly.
Note: Some older graphics cards may give incorrect information if they do not support WDDM.

EDIT: ATTENTION NORTON USERS
I am aware of issues between Norton products and my utility where Norton deletes it before the user can use it. I am currently in the process of dealing with this issue, but it is an uphill battle with Norton. No other antivirus products appear to be doing the same.
