Default Re: New Computer advice.

So, we finally got our new computer from Dell a few days ago. An inspirion 570. Very strangely, it appears the computer they sent us is actually better than the one we ordered. We were suppoused to get 4 Gig ram, and according to system information, we actually have 6, and we were suppoused to get a Athlon x2 2800, and we actually have an Athlon x3 2900.

In any event, I was wondering, is there any easy way to find out what motherboard we have in our system? So far I have tried programs like Everest, which gather detailed system information, but all it says under motherboard is "unknown" I really dont want to open up the cast as of yet, so is there any easy way to see the make and model of a motherboard? Strangeley I seem unable to get into the BIOS for this computer...does it have something to do with Dell locking all that stuff out?

Anyways we paid just over 400 dollars alltogether for this computer and I think we got some pretty good bang for the buck.
