You should be able to find manufacturer and model silk-screened on the board 
itself.  If not, you saved too much money on the board, please try again.

You can often get RAM speed info and IRQ setup in the BIOS.  Go into the setup 
routine.  That may give you some of the information you need.

Once you identify the make and model, check the manufacturer's web site for 
further information.

While you're there, be sure to check for BIOS updates, and apply any that are 
available.
