On the right hand side of the first page, mine shows a table called "Main
Circuit Board". That is Belarc speak for motherboard.

There is alot of ways to know whats the name of your mother board
1) when you turn on your computer in the first black screen at the top left
corner it should tell you the name
2) if you entered the setup for your motherboard by pressing DEL botton it
should tell you the name in the top
3) if you open your PC you should see somewhere a print in white with the
name and the model number of your motherboard.
4) in your windows if you go click on start then run type there DXDIAG and
then hit enter in the middle you should see SYSTEM MANUFACTURER which will
tell you the name of your motherboard as well.

ENJOY..
