Dell XPS 410 Motherboard

Sep 6, 2006 8:33AM PDT

Alright, this may seem like a stupid question, but so far I couldn't find the answer. Does anyone know what motherboard Dell ships in an XPS 410 if you select a Pentium D processor? I know the 410 is made for Core 2 Duo and that the 400 was the one with Pentium D, but the 400 is gone now and I don't know the motherboard in either of them. Help?

DELL sneaks in their own little assortment of drivers for their motherboards too. Thos specs aren't etched in stone. If your thinking "modification", be ye ever ready.
Went thru it one time - got tricked - wasted some clams.
