OT-Try winmag.com They have the wintune program which will identify the cpu (if yes is indicated on the streaming simd instructions the cpu is a pentium-III). As for the hard disk 8.47 sounds about right after you format a drive advertised as 9GB (also has something to do with the advertising basing the capacity on base 10 numbers and the computer reporting the capacity in base 2 numbers, e.g. 1MB=1024Bytes, 2MB=2048Bytes, etc).
