motherboard make/model


I'm wondering how I can find out the make/model of the motherboard in my netbook? It's a System76 starling running Ubuntu 11.04 so I can find the motherboard manual to see how much RAM it can take. I've seen this in aida on the system rescue cds but this netbook doesn't have a CD.

You could run dmidecode to see what information it can gather for you.
