Hi,
for a graphical overview install with Synaptic 'hardinfo'.
Most detailed information you'll always get from commands in a terminal.
e.g.
$sudo hdparm -i /dev/sda
##hdparm Options:
-c get/set IDE 32-bit IO setting
-d get/set using_dma flag
-i display drive identification
-I detailed/current information directly from drive
-k get/set keep_settings_over_reset flag (0/1)
-p set PIO mode on IDE interface chipset (0,1,2,3,4,...)
-t perform device read timings
-T perform cache read timings
-X set IDE xfer mode (DANGEROUS)

$cat /proc/meminfo

$hwinfo --help ##without help long output
$lspci ##long output
$lshw ##long output

$sudo dmidecode -s system-manufacturer
$sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name
$sudo dmidecode -s system-version
