    Hi,
    Have just acquired a new PC, and am trying to find out what the motherboard is. I have taken it apart and examined it, and can't see any labels or text to give me an idea.
    It is similar to an i815 board, the closest thing I could find by appearance was the Leadtek WinFast 9100AX. It has a Cyrix III 700Mhz processor, the board has 6 PCI slots, 3 memory slots, and appears to run PC100 Ram (even when I put PC133 in it)
    Is there a way to find out the model of the board, either in Windows or BIOS?
    Any help appreciated. Cheers.

    this is a long shot but if you download cpuz from http://www.cpuid.org/cpuz.php and there is a tab called mainboard which should tell you motherboard manufactor and model number.

    Download and run this advisor. It will tell you every detail of your machine.
    ---edit---
    You need an internet connection to run the program, not just download it.
