I have a few computer questions that I need to fill out for an online volunteer position…please help?
OK-the operating system is Microsoft Windows XP-right?
It’s the home edition.
Then when I
look in the control panel it says this-
Version 2002 Service Pack 3
*********
the rest of it is
Intel (R)Pentium( Dual CPU
E2160@6H 1.79 GHZ
1.79 GHZ o.996Bof
Is this the answer to the question what is your computer hardware specifications and computer software specifications?
Software is any program or application which runs on the computer hardware.
Hardware is anything that you can touch – the case, keys, disks, screen, Central Processing Unit (CPU), the Random Access Memory (RAM) modules, chips, fans, etc, etc.
Your hardware would be the make and model/type of your computer
eg. Acer Aspire 1234 (for instance)
with an Intel Pentium (Dual Core E2160@6H) CPU running at a speed (frequency) of 1.79 GHz
(If they don’t want too much detail ‘Acer Aspire 1234′ would be sufficient.)
Your software would be
Windows XP (Home), SP3 (Service Pack 3) – the service packs are additional updates to the original Windows program.
You will also have other software of course like an Antivirus program, maybe MS Office, a firewall, and loads of others, but the main one is the Operating System (O.S.) – in your case, Windows.
Microsoft issues various Windows updates, usually on the second Tuesday of every month (Patch Tuesday) but they mount up after a while, so occasionally they take all the previous updates and cram ‘em together into one huge update so that customers can update their Windows all in one go rather than than in bits and pieces. These big lumps of updates are Service Packs.

Software is Windows XP. Hardware is "the rest of it" – 1,79GHz CPU, and some amount of RAM that comes after that (996MB, maybe? If it is, say 1GB – the difference doesn’t matter.)
