        ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, query);
        ManagementObjectCollection queryCollection = searcher.Get();
        string graphicsCard = "";
        foreach (ManagementObject mo in queryCollection)
        {
            foreach (PropertyData property in mo.Properties)
            {
                if (property.Name == "Description")
                {
                    graphicsCard += property.Value.ToString() + " ";
                }
            }
        }
