Motherboard

Hi all,

Is there any way i can find out what motherboard my Dell C521 dimension has without taking the cover off it? and then work out what Processor connection it has? (i.e. Am2?)

You can use CPU-Z to find out your processor model and from there the type of connection it has. It's a software so you don't need to open it up and void your warranty (if you have one)
