command which provides the specifications of my PC

During installation many distros print the specifications of the PC; the specifications and the type of the CPU, of the graphics card, etc... Is there a way ( a command, or a configuration file) to find these information, after the installation?

Look through the files in /proc/ ... cpuinfo, meminfo, etc.

Also, the command lspci (especially with the -v flag) provides valuable information about PCI devices (network and video cards and other controllers).

There is a programme called lshw (stands for LiSt HardWare) that can amalgamate lots of information into easy to digest form (including the option to output directly to an html page).
