For hardware profiles, click on the icon on the top left corner, go to About This Mac, and More Info. Or, look for the System Profiler in Spotlight.

The Control Panel's equivalent is System Preferences.

For the Task Manager equivalent (Ctrl+Alt+Del), go to the Activity Monitor.

the control panel is System Preferences. it should be in your dock its the icon with cogs on it. or have a look in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.

there are no "NVIDIA" graphics settings but you can have a look at your graphics profile in System Profiler by clicking the Apple menu then pressing the option button or you change your display settings in Displays in System Preferences.

you can force quit apps and processes from Activity Monitor and also check out CPU, RAM, network and disk activity. the OS X equivalent of "ctrl+alt+del" is "command+option+esc" which will bring up a force quit window. but i dont use that window much as i just option right click on an app if i want to force quit it or just right click on it if its not responding. (yes apps do stop responding on Macs but fare less often)
