That is a really old obsolete machine. At the time of the 226 MHz processor, there were several manufacturers producing machines that used these components. Also, someone could easily just buy parts and put one together with these components. I doubt you will get the answer you are looking for with the information you provided.\n\nIf you had the serial number from the motherboard, then you could probably figure it out. Also if you have the make of all the components then you have a chance too. Why do you want this machine?  It is a dinosaur, not worth even $50.

I cannot tell you the origins of the symbol, but if you want to make it on your computer, do the following :\n\nGo to: Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Character Map. You should find it there (scroll down a bit) where you can copy and paste.\n\nLike so :  ∞

Sorry, not sure how much this will help, but if you have any development tools, you can write one yourself.  There are numerous free system information components on the web that plug into development tools like VB, VC++, VC#, Delphi, etc.\n\nI was actually going to write one for my kids' school, since their PC situation is nightmarish (all different hardware/drivers/O/S'es), but never got around to it.  Most device information, and associated driver info can be found in the registry, and Windows has a few built-in (API) calls to get other info (like processor, memory, etc.).  A webservice with either an Access or SQL Server database on the receiving end would be easy to whip up.

you should probably ask someone in the computer section they probably know a little more about that kinda stuff.

This is not the place that you should be looking for serial numbers.  But, may I ask why are you trying to use such an old piece of software?

do a yahoo or google search on the subject because it depends on who manufactured the pc,mobo,etc.

History of computing\n\n    Main article: History of computing\n\nENIAC — a milestone in computing history\nEnlarge\nENIAC — a milestone in computing history\n\nOriginally, the term "computer" referred to a person who performed numerical calculations, often with the aid of a mechanical calculating device. Examples of early calculating devices, the first ancestors of the computer, included the abacus and the Antikythera mechanism, an ancient Greek device for calculating the movements of planets, dating from about 87 BC.[1] The end of the Middle Ages saw a reinvigoration of European mathematics and engineering, and Wilhelm Schickard's 1623 device was the first of a number of European engineers to construct a mechanical calculator.[2] The abacus has been noted as being an early computer, as it was like a calculator in the past. Charles Babbage was the first to conceptualize and design a fully programmable computer as early as 1820, but due to a combination of the limits of the technology of the time, limited finance, and an inability to resist tinkering with his design, the device was never actually constructed in his lifetime. A number of technologies that would later prove useful in computing, such as the punch card and the vacuum tube had appeared by the end of the 19th century, and large-scale automated data processing using punch cards was performed by tabulating machines designed by Hermann Hollerith.\n\nDuring the first half of the 20th century, many scientific computing needs were met by increasingly sophisticated, special-purpose analog computers, which used a direct mechanical or electrical model of the problem as a basis for computation. These became increasingly rare after the development of the programmable digital computer.\n\nA succession of steadily more powerful and flexible computing devices were constructed in the 1930s and 1940s, gradually adding the key features of modern computers, such as the use of digital electronics (largely invented by Claude Shannon in 1937)[3] and more flexible programmability. Defining one point along this road as "the first digital electronic computer" is exceedingly difficult. Notable achievements include the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (1937), a special-purpose machine that used valve-driven (vacuum tube) computation, binary numbers, and regenerative memory; the secret British Colossus computer (1944), which had limited programmability but demonstrated that a device using thousands of valves could be made reliable and reprogrammed electronically; the Harvard Mark I, a large-scale electromechanical computer with limited programmability (1944); the decimal-based American ENIAC (1946) — which was the first general purpose electronic computer, but originally had an inflexible architecture that meant reprogramming it essentially required it to be rewired; and Konrad Zuse's Z machines, with the electromechanical Z3 (1941) being the first working machine featuring automatic binary arithmetic and feasible programmability.\n\nThe team who developed ENIAC, recognizing its flaws, came up with a far more flexible and elegant design, which has become known as the Von Neumann architecture (or "stored program architecture"), named for one of its principle designers. This stored program architecture became the basis for virtually all modern computers. A number of projects to develop computers based on the stored program architecture commenced in the mid to late-1940s; the first of these were completed in Britain. The first to be up and running was the Small-Scale Experimental Machine, but the EDSAC was perhaps the first practical version that was developed.\nThe Apple II, an early personal computer\nEnlarge\nThe Apple II, an early personal computer\n\nValve (tube) driven computer designs were in use throughout the 1950s, but were eventually replaced with transistor-based computers, which were smaller, faster, cheaper, and much more reliable, thus allowing
