Look for the revision number near the keyboard connector (e.g. v3.0)

All Info you need is at the M810 FAQ

Yes - the revision number should be near the keyboard connector

All M810LR (now M810L) use the same Bios as well as all M810 use the same Bios but M810 bios differs from M810L(LR) as LAN seems to be disabled there
All M810 use the same drivers

So what's the problem ?

Pcchips has always done and i think it will do forever this same board model but different revision with different Bios .

But with the M810 the Bios is the same for al M810 non-LAN and for all M810L (LR/LMR with previous model numbering) .
Exceptions : The models with OnBoard CPU or the M810DU/DLU (based on sIS740 instead of SIS730) .
Sometimes it's possible the revision number has a QC (Quality Control ?!?) sticker sticked onto it so it's not visible

PC Chips isn't the only one using the same name and a different rev number with a different bios, MSI is doing the very same thing...

The manual has the revision (family) number printed on it too.
