How to determine the brand name of my motherboard

Post by Glug Glug Glug »

Howdy ppz

How can I find the manufacturar and the brand, and the model name of my mother board, other than goin thru the hardware itself.
Is there any software that can determine the brand name of the hardware in my computer, especially my motherboard.

have you gone to the BIOS?? it might say there, or maybe when everything is being loaded when you turn on your computer. I can't say for sure, but I thought it comes up somewhere in there.
Hope that this helps!

if its an Award or an AMI BIOS, there are databases of BIOS strings. just do an internet search for "motherboard ID".

here's a fairly decent source of mobo info. http://navigation.helper.realnames.com/framer/1/0/default.asp?realname=SysOpt%2Ecom+Motherboard+Information+Page&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Esysopt%2Ecom%2Fmboard%2Ehtml&frameid=1&provi derid=0&uid=30005699
