For example,Get the display card or sound card's infomatin in windowsXP?
May i get them from registry? Is it credible?

You can try WMI; The class Win32_SoundDevice, Win32_DisplayConfiguration
may contain the information you want.

Here is a sample about retrieving Mac address by WMI:

        Dim mc As System.Management.ManagementClass
        Dim mo As ManagementObject
        mc = New ManagementClass("Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration")
        Dim moc As ManagementObjectCollection = mc.GetInstances()
        For Each mo In moc
             If mo.Item("IPEnabled") = True Then
                MsgBox("MAC address " & mo.Item("MacAddress").ToString())
             End If
        Next
