How to Know Your Motherboard Model


You will need to know the manufacturer and exact model of your motherboard, especially if you plan to upgrade your computer, since the upgrade capabilities of your computer are set by the motherboard model you have.

You will need to know this information if you need to perform:
-a BIOS upgrade
-download your motherboard manual or
-download drivers.

A BIOS upgrade is needed to make your computer recognize a new CPU and the manual is necessary if you want to check how much RAM your computer is able to recognize. Inside the computer BIOS there is a serial number, which includes a code for manufacturer. After you find out your motherboard manufacturer and model, you can visit your manufacturer website so that  you can download the latest BIOS, driver and manual.

This is How:
1) Start > Run > MSinfo32.exe.
2) Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Information
3) Start > Run > DXDiag.exe.
4) Right-click My Computer > Manage > Device Manager.
5) If none of the built-in tools provide the information you want, you can use these utilities to help determine the answer to your question:
