How to find out wich HP mainboard i have?

Archived from groups: comp.sys.hp.hardware (More info?)

Start with the badge on the front, something like Pavilion 5366. Go to the HP
web site, search the support area for "Product Specifications" for that model.

Ouch! That is a more difficult problem to solve. Many HP mainboards have an
original equipment manufacturer (OEM) model number stenciled on them. This
helps, but don't depend on the OEM of ANY information as a rule.

There may also be a sticker with an HP part number on the board.

Do a Google search with either of these bits of info.

Unfortunately, many HP BIOSes do not tell you the model of the motherboard,
otherwise I would suggest installing the slowest possible processor and some
memory and booting it up... Ben Myers
