Under Linux you can use lspci to list hardware that is attached to the
PCI bus. 

Note though that at least some of the devices will not be
physical hardware by themselves, they will be multiple devices provided
by one piece of hardware. For example the motherboard will provide
seperate PCI devices for IDE controller, USB Controller, etc.

Its usually reasonably handy if you know theres a device plugged into
the PCI bus and you want to find out the Model No or Chipset No.
