nagios h/w monitoring
How will I monitor the H/Ws connected to a system(like AMD processor 64bit 1.8GHZ,250GB Segate HDD,NVIDIA QUADRO GPU,MOtherboard CHIPSET Model, SONY DVD RW etc..)
Normally the memory returns as a total size as 4GB of RAM and can that be returned as 2x2 GB RAM. ??
The client may be a window or may be linux.

As i know you can monitor hardware performance and service monitoring through Nagios. Hardware make and model monitoring is not possible.
BTW Why you require hardware make and model monitoring? Any specific reason?

If you want to keep track used hardware you can use inventory software(i.e OCSinventory).
Through Nagios you can monitor hardware performance like cpu, memory, disk space usage.

I suppose this can be done, but it wouldn't be the easiest thing in the world. Nagios is designed to support generic checks which you define, in both Passive and Active format, you will need to take advantage of this and write your own checks.
Now as far as how to do it you will first need to find a way to check whatever hardware information you want on your hardware and OS. I don't know of any commands to check the physical RAM layout (for example), but have seen it as a point you can check with some OEM software. What you will need to do is look at you hardware manufacturer and see if they have any such native utility. Then see if there is any sort of API or command line interface to query. You can also use generic Linux command line tools such as reading the device files found in /proc. Then you just need to decide what the "normal" values for any physical hardware to be monitored, and what setup matching to alert if anything is off.
