Determining make and model is somewhat difficult to do from software. |

I know of a very good windows utility that will help you out called |
| 19 |
SIW. See the link below. As far as linux utilities to read that |
| 20 |
information, I have limited experience. |

The problem is that SIW only reports what the manufacturers decide to |
| 23 |
jot down in their hardware. That means if the manufacturer doesn't |
| 24 |
want you to know, you probably won't. |

As a matter of curiosity, why can't you open the case? |
