Don't worry buddy, apparently these guys are the offspring of Bill Gates. They know everything.
Don't worry follow the 1st reply. You will see it at the top
Right click My computers, select Properties
Here you will also notice, your processor speed and the amount of memory you have.

If you want to upgrade an original WinXP or XP SP1 system to SP2, make sure you download and use an offline upgrader like http://www.heise-security.co.uk/articles/80682
Otherwise you will be forced to download and apply dozens of additional security patches to SP2, and your system will be vulnerable online in the meantime.

Windows key + Pause/Break is a fast way.

When you press Windows + Pause/Break, you see the "Registered to:" thing, does anyone know how to change who it's registered to? I typed it incorrectly in the beginning and it bugs me because it shows up incorreclty in the task manager etc.

I belive there should be a registry entry for it, but I wouldn't look into it. The registry editor is dangerous if you don't know what you're doing and who cares about who it's registered to. Not like you go into System and see what the computer is registered to everday.

Hmm, they changed it in XP, but you can
Open RegEdit.
CTRL + F (to open the Find function)
Search for whatever name you entered
