I am trying to buy a cpu for my home desktop and i dont know what to buy because i am not sure of my mother board is there a way that i can find that out without taking it to a shop.
Download CPU-Z (http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpuz_150.zip)
Unrar it, and run the cpu-z program.
Go to the second tab (mainboard) and it will give you brand and model #.
