Hardware specs on startup?

[hogweed]

I have wiped a MacBook Pro and installed Leopard. Unfortunately, I now can’t remember what RAM/HDD are fitted (yes, I know, and I don’t even drink…). I know Macs don’t have a BIOS as such, but is there ANY way I can find out what’s in it? Reading the serial number plate under the battery doesn’t help as it’s had extra RAM and a bigger disk fitted, but the RAM sticks aren’t labelled with capacity.

And I can’t go into Sys Prefs as I’ve left it in pre-registration mode for the new user!

Is there any way I can interrogate the hardware at the stage I’m at?

Maybe some start-up utility I can download?

Thanks as always
Roger

Booting up from the Leopard CD you installed with by holding down 'C' when you turn on your computer. Then when the first screen loads up, click on the apple in the top left of the screen and go to 'About My Computer'.

Yes... except.. all those options are greyed out at that point

Try proceeding to the step where you are about to choose the destination volume. Then see if anymore options are available.
