How do I find out my model of motherboard?

Last response: in CPUs

Hi, I don't really know much about motherboards and am hoping to upgrade my processor from this http://techreport.pricegrabber.com/search_techspecs_full.php/masterid=8098507/st=product_tab to this http://techreport.pricegrabber.com/search_techspecs_full.php/masterid=34842997/st=product_tab but am not sure if my motherboard will support it. My motherboard is currently a 939 pin socket, and so is the chip I'm using and hoping to get. The processor I'm going to purchase has a fan and heatsink with it too.

Please help me if you know that the processor will work and/or tell me how to find out the make and model of my motherboard.

Thanks
Jackal

It should say on the board itself, normally near the middle or the expansion slots.

CPU-Z will be able to tell you some information about the board too.

Not all boards are detected. My last mobo wasn't, or my current or previous work machines.

It will tell you the chipset though which may go some way to telling you chip compatibility.
