I want to find out the exact model of my computer's motherboard so that I can see what sort of memory chip, graphics cards and other components it supports.

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

Daveb was moving the right direction.

Belarc Advisor will tell you what type of motherboard you have.

CPU-Z can identifiy mainboards, among other components. I think that should do it.

Yet another option to launch dxdiag tool from the start menu:

Open CommandPrompt (cmd) and type

wmic cpu get name,CurrentClockSpeed,MaxClockSpeed This command will tell you the system motherboard (that happen to be the name) and it’s UUID

wmic bios get name,serialnumber,version This will tells you the name if your BIOS, current version and it’s serial number if there is any.

Technet has a useful reference for WMIC commands

Another option: I happen to like SIW - System Information for Windows

Speccy is an Advanced System Information tool for your PC.

(It is made by the same company that designed CCleaner)

If you have a desktop system that was built from parts: Open the case. The motherboard brand and model number is printed on it.

If you have a laptop, or purchased a desktop from a OEM such as Dell: there's not really a motherboard model on the thing, you're going to have to go with the computer's model number.

Use Intel's online System Identification Utility:

CPU-Z works too, has a 64 bit version.

There are several products you can install to get this information, but the one I've used in the past is Belarc Advisor (useful for auditing):

The motherboard itself must comply with a standard called DMI. This provides information such as the motherboard model, BIOS version, the number of RAM sticks, their capacity and speed, and basically anything else that is related to your motherboard.

There are two popular programs that can retrieve this information. CPU-Z and dmidecode. While CPU-Z is a user-friendly alternative, dmidecode has the advantage of being a nice, clean tool that works on practically all operating systems.

wmic csproduct get name,identifyingnumber

Name should be the serial # of your motherboard and IdentifyingNumber is probably blank, but it might be an additional sub-serial #.
