Sasa:
Your PC has an Award BIOS. You can contact the directly, and they may be able
to determine the manufacturer and model number for the motherboard. Another
way to get the same information is to boot it up, and copy the BIOS string
that will appear during the boot process. (Press the PAUSE key to give
yourself enough time to write it down). Go to www.wimsbios.com, click on the
Award BIOS ID link in the upper right hand corner of the page, and you should
be able to determine exactly what motherboard you have.
