well theres multiple ways to get system info and display it in a string for a label but how would you do it for the graphics card (or chip)

Why not use the search?

yea i did and i found that but i dont know how to get some info that i need (actually alot of those controllers would be nice to have listed but not sure how to get the info i need) i was gonna use something like this

            ManagementObjectSearcher query = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem");
            ManagementObjectCollection coll = query.Get();
            foreach (ManagementObject mo in coll)
            {
                RamLabel.Text = ("Total Ram Installed =" + " " + mo["totalphysicalmemory"].ToString());
            } 

and im guessing that insted of

Win32_ComputerSystem

that id need

Win32_VideoController

if thats the right one (not sure i can mess with it my self) but what i need to know is how do i know what.. i donno what its even called string? well what ever its this thing "totalphysicalmemory" how do i check to see what i can call from Win32_VideoController?

**Update** TOTALLY figured it out thanks alot i just used that programs demo and saw the names and did some trial and Error thanks alot you can delete this thread if needed. and just for the record what i used to get it was this

            ManagementObjectSearcher query = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_VideoController");
            ManagementObjectCollection coll = query.Get();
            foreach (ManagementObject mo in coll)
            {
                VideoCardLabel.Text = ("Graphics Card Installed =" + " " + mo["name"].ToString());
            }
