It's a Dell board. All major OEM's build their own MB's, based on an Intel
chipset (except Compaq, which makes it's own chip sets, I think).

Because each case is build round a specific MB it makes the completely
un-upgradable. If you need a faster PC, and the MB won't take a faster
processor, I'm afraid its new PC time.......
