Many a times you need to download the correct or updated drivers for your
computer. To do that, you need to know which motherboard you have. You can open
the computer and try to visually find the make and model of the motherboard.
That is quite inconvenient and at times it is an OEM motherboard that does not
have the make / model written on it.
So what do you do? Is there an easier way? How can I find out which
motherboard do I have?
Easy. Click on the ‘Start’ button at the bottom left of your screen. A dialog
box will appear. Type ‘Run’ and press enter. Another dialog box will appear.
Type ‘dxdiag’ in that. A screen will pop up that will have most of the system
information on it. Under System Manufacturer, you will see who made the
motherboard, for example ‘Intel’. Under that will be System Model. That shows
your motherboard, for example ‘D915GVWB’. In this case, your motherboard will be
Intel D915GVWB.
We have only tested this under Windows 7.
Hope that helped.
