How can I find out what motherboard I have?

Question

I have a Dell Dimension 4550 and I'm just not sure what kind of motherboard it is. All I have found my looking on my computer is that the mainboard is Dell Computer Corp. Can anyone help? I was wanting to upgrade and get more ram (2GB), a better video card, and a better cpu.

This cpu is what I'm wanting to get, or at least another 3.2GHz:

Intel Pentium 4 640 Prescott 3.2GHz 2MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor

Or:

Intel Pentium 4 641 Cedar Mill 3.2GHz 2MB L2 Cache LGA 775 EM64T Processor

Thanks,
