how can i go about doing this?

if you have one of the pc's that you buy from a retailer (like dell or hp), it's very hard to tell and that info is not very useful.

if you have a custom built pc, u should know it (duh!).

anyway, try looking for a name when the pc is loading up (when it's doing the boot process)

There should be a string of numbers across the bottom of the screen at boot up called the bios string. It IDs your mobo manufacturer.

Go here for more info.

sometimes there are stickers on the board itself or a model number screened onto the board, just google it and find the manufacturer. In fact just about any # off of the board that looks like a model or serial could be googled...worth a shot.

you can try using aida32 ( http://www.aida32.hu/aida-download.php?bit=32 ). it should be able to pull up info on your motherboard.

You can use a system info program to do it. I recommend SiSoft Sandra. I won't tell you where to get it, but you should be able to find it relatively easy.

You can also find a limited amount of information in the Windows XP system information app. Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Information.
