You can use the Intel® Board ID Tool to find out if you have a branded retail Intel® Desktop Board. The Board ID Tool has been validated with Microsoft* Windows* XP and Internet Explorer*.
When you start the ID Tool for the first time, you will be prompted to install the software.
If the ID Tool detects a branded retail Intel® Desktop Board, the resulting status window will display the board model, board version (AA#), BIOS version and operating system.
If the ID Tool does not detect a branded retail Intel® Desktop Board, the following message will display.
If you get the message that an Intel desktop board was not detected, you likely have an OEM desktop board.
Intel markets desktop boards into the retail channel and to various computer manufacturers known as OEMs (original equipment manufacturers). These OEM's may further customize the desktop boards to their own specifications. OEMs may also integrate the desktop boards with other system components such as a power supply, disk drive, software, and chassis. For this reason, Intel cannot support a desktop board distributed by an OEM. You should contact the OEM directly or the place where you purchased your system for support. The OEM or the place of purchase will be most familiar with your configuration and its integration of both hardware and software.
