Reading system configuration such as memory, HDD size, processor speed

Sek
Hi,

Is there any namespace/class in C# to get the system configuration
details such as RAM size, HDD capacity, processor details and things
like that.

I went through the ManagementObject class, but that uses specific
names/labels to get specific property. I couldn't find any way to read
the processor/memory details using it. I did come across a way to find
the HDD capacity information using it.

TIA.

Check into using WMI to query the system for information such as hard
drives, processor types, bios and the kitchen sink.
