Retail Intel boards are well marked on surface.
Should be a D915PCY, isn't it?

one more thing..the bios string for intel desktop board D915PCY is CY91510A.86A. but the bios string for my desktop board is CY91510A.11T. while i was browsing the intel website, i found out that while updating bios..the second second part of the bios string should me exactly the same. for example the second part of bios string D915PCY is 86A. mine is 11T. so i think it isnt my desktop board. this gives me a headache. hope someone find me something soon.

Do you have a Packard-Bell system ?

Looks like an OEM version of this Intel Board called Perhentian

i think the link that was posted before has led me to the correct desktop board. but the think that confuses me now is that i have an NEC system, but why is my desktop board in Packard Bell website. :?

NEC and Packard Bell share the same motherboards.
