Software - for hardware audit

[Lemur]

I don't suppose running dxidag would do the trick?

How about CPU-Z? Would that give you enough info to satisfy the bean-counter?

-edit-

I know for a fact that both Xiahou and Whacker are full-time IT wonks. Hey you guys! What would you use for a scenario like this? Anything he can use remotely?

Belarc Advisor springs to mind. It's free for personal use and they offer "enterprise" solutions that can gather data from remote PCs to a central location. I've never used the networked version, but it sounds like it might fit the bill.

SiSoft Sandra seems to be a powerful tool to find out what hardware a computer has, but then I never really used it myself and don't know about reports or statistics.
