After installing Everest, run it and go to Motherboard, Motherboard. The screen in Figure 2 will be shown. Your motherboard manufacturer and model will be shown under Motherboard Name. As you can see, we were using a Gigabyte GA-7VAXP Ultra motherboard.

On this screen is several other useful information about your motherboard, like the clock speed the memory is running, how many expansion slots it has, how many memory slots it has and which ones are used, and the chipset model on which your motherboard is based. You can also view the BIOS serial number we were talking about under Motherboard ID. Everest additionally includes a direct link for downloading your motherboard BIOS at the end of this screen; just scroll down to see it. This feature is really convenient if you are planning to upgrade your motherboard BIOS.
