You know you're not as much of a computer nut as you once where...

...when you have to actually run CPUz because you can't remember what 
CPU you have. ;-)

I can remember the CPU, but remember which NVidia card I have is
both annoyingly difficult to remember and to find out. (Not that it's
technically difficult to find out. It's difficult to remember where
that information was stated.)

I keep forgetting what motherboard I have. Strange while writing this I  
remember something like DG41RQ.
I also keep forgetting that I only have 1Gb RAM on my graphics card.

Now I remember it when I don't need it :S

Mine's a GeForce 260. The one *before* they realised that the 260 wasn't 
actually very good value for money and upped the specs without altering 
the price. Ho hum...

I was tried getting a 260 but they didn't have any in stock. So they gave  
me an ATI 5770 for the same price. My first ATI and so far so good.

I only know mine is an ASUS P8P67LE because I can see the box from here. 
;-) It's not an especially memorable part number.

It's an Intel Core-i7 2600K, in case anybody cares...

(One of the best Christmas presents I've had for a very long time!)

I don't even remember how much RAM is in my machine, let alone the CPU 
or graphics card model. And I only built it earlier this year :-O
