What is my motherboard?

[rikadik]

Hi,

I'm trying to find out what motherboard inside my computer without opening it up.

All Dell will tell me is its an Intel 925X Express. However this doesn't show up on Intel's website.

I'm guessing its one of these:


Intel® Desktop Board D925XEBC2

Intel® Desktop Board D925XECV2

Intel® Desktop Board D925XBC

Intel® Desktop Board D925XCV


Anyone have any idea which one it actually is, or might be, or any way of finding out?

My computer is a Dimension 8400. See my sig for more details.

Thanks in advance!

You may try contacting dell about the actual model number. However, I think the board is special made for dell and probobly isnt on your list. If you find out be sure to post, I've got a new 8400 and am interested to see what you come up with.

It might not be an Intel board--OEMs get their stuff from lots of places. "Intel 925X Express" is referring to the motherboard's chipset. Sometimes they contract the board-making out to a company like Asus. It's most likely Dell-branded and not an actual P5AD2 or something.

Search for a freeware program called cpu-z. It will tell you what the motherboard ID string is in the BIOS.

It IS an Intel board reworked by Dell. As far as the model # you will NOT get one from Dell as I tried this many times. What exactly do you want to do by finding out the model (board) # ?

Not cpu-z / everest / sandra / pc wizard / 3d mark03 & 05 or anything will tell you the model #. Just that its manufactured by Dell Corp.

Download, Install and run the SiS Sandra software and it will probably identify your board for you.
