You know that you're a nerd when over 85% of the songs on your media player come from video games, 10% come from percussion music, and the rest is just miscellaneous.
I've definitely felt like a nerd when I've said phrases like "I have a vibraphone/marimba duet stuck in my head," or "this timpani concerto is just so damn catchy!"
Oh, and not to mention that I can discuss a 17 minute Chrono Medley for considerably longer than the actual duration of the piece.
(This medley, to be precise)
Oh, and I'm also infamous among my friends for knowing an obnoxious amount of information about the history of the video game industry.

I actually just ran Dxdiag because I've never heard of it before.
From what I can tell Dxdiag tells you:
BIOS, OS, RAM, and DirectX version, along with some other information that isn't very important.
Speccy along with some other programs like it tell you:
OS, the name of you CPU, the number of cores, the number of RAM slot you mobo has, how many RAM cards are plugged in, the name and size of your RAM cards, name of your mobo, the name of your graphics card, etc etc etc. It goes into great detail.
Half of you guys are weaksauce.
...When you can't play Game of Thrones with a certain group of friends anymore because you all know each other so well it just becomes a very complicated game of rock, paper, scissors.
...When your Munchkin deck can overpower a 6-deck shuffler and needs two Boxes of Holding.
...When your favorite movie is Armageddon and you can defend it.
...When you have a custom Battlestar Galactica Loyalty Deck.
Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think I'm a Geek as determined by the Venn Diagram of Nerdiness. I don't really have a problem with social ineptitude... Lotta dorks in this thread.
