What program can you use to see what kind of motherboard you have
 

What kind of program is out there to see all your computer specs, and to find out what kind of motherboard you have? Or can you find that out by doing something in start - run?

Someone posted a cool program a while back. I think it was called Everest something or other...

Can you give me the link?

Everest; it used to be AIDA32, and free.

all you need is a screw driver...
(or thumbs if there's thumbscrews or latches retaining the cover on your box).

if the name of the board isn't printed on it, there will at least be a model number stamped on it, so the other handy tool would be google

;)

just look for the term Benchmark in google.
Loads of free stuff

Good luck
