Is it possible to determine the model of a HP/compaq machine only thru remote access?

I've got a HP/Compaq machine that I can access only remotely right now so I cannot physically go up to it and see what the model number is.

So far I've found CPUZ which gave me the following info:

Does anyone know if I can determine the model number so I can go to the Compaq website and get the right drivers?

well if you can also use GPU-Z you can find out the make of the GPU, unless its using the 780G chipsets onboard gpu.

What drivers are you after? motherboard/graphics/sound/ethernet/? etc?

Well it managed to install the active X thingy ok, but once I let it do it's thing it came back with 'Product Not Detected'

Yep, all the drivers, I need to re-format this machine from scratch, so I'm getting the drivers now to save me hassle later on.

I'm also looking into how viable this machine is as a hackingtosh... :eek:

I'm pretty sure it's an onboard GPU however, in the graphics tab in CPUZ it came back with 'ATI Radeon 3000 Graphics'
