2.6Ghz Celeron not sure if its Celeron D
256MB DDR 266 RAM

I dont' get your question, are you looking for the model number? Should be either on the case or any documentation that came with the unit.

Check for any stickers on the back, near the power supply. Should give you the model number.

it's not on the system properties thing? I thought most OEM's had a custom logo and information in the My Computer Properties...
