vista program rating system specs

I have seen on my friends computer that in Vista it rates your computer
specifications, giving you a score on each component to tell you what is the
slowest part.

Is there a non vista program out there that does a similar thing? I am
thinking of upgrading my pc, and want to know how much of it needs upgrading
(I used to be good at figuring this stuff out, but now with all the new dual
core / quad core / 64 bit processors out there, I want to make sure that it
is just my motherboard and processor I need to upgrade)

Thanks in advance

Isn't it a way for Microsoft to CONTROL the market, also using this
way??

Thanks, I will try that out when i get home, although that program looks like
it just checks if your computer can run vista, does it give detailed
information (such as what is good on your computer and what will struggle to
run vista) ?
