For a very broad question like this you need to provide very specific info about your system. Look at mine and countless others' signatures for an example. Also, read through the last week's worth of posts in this subforum and you will find several very helpful threads bearing almost the same title as your own. Hope this gets you started.

In Windows I have used Everest Home (free) but for newer motherboards it may not list the name of the motherboard. Still should tell you the chipsets etc. You could always open the side and read it off the motherboard! dastrom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigosx86noob Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 sorry it took so long for me to get the info but i hope this is what you were looking for: asus F8000 G702LAE FJ1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginjaian Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 asusF8000 G702LAE FJ1000 That's not really making much sense, no amount of googling comes up with a motherboard with those serial numbers. Are you sure you're not trying to install OS X on a Yamaha motorbike?! If you don't want to open the case and look at the motheboard, use CPUID which should give all your motherboard details. Then search the forum to see if anyone has posted information about the board and read all the threads, then you can come back with some nice specific questions. http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
