Well,
here is my output
Handle 0x0200, DMI type 2, 9 bytes.
Base Board Information
Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
Product Name: 0TT740
Version: A00
Serial Number: ..CN6970284I3692.
The problem now is that I don´t find the specs of this Motherboard (nor in
Dell oficial page nor googleing...)
(or pherphas this hot summer has heated my brain and I´m getting fool....
;-) )
any idea?
