Manufacturer's specifications for that model board! That's the first place to look at finding out anything about any make and model board. Do you know that?

One freeware can help if you don't have the user manual onhand since that will usually give the general specifications there at the end of the contents section. The System Info for Windows(SIW) will give you a complete breakdown on all softwares as well as the information on the board and all other hardwares as well. http://www.gtopala.com/

For this all you do is right click on the executable to create a desktop shortcut if not simply double clicking on it. There's no installer or registry involvement with the free tool there. No bugs either!

I would say go with CPU-Z. It's most likely an LGA775...
