| I recently finished my high school education. I decide to go on IT University because I think that with that degree I won't have any trouble finding a job. However, I do not have any strong background in IT areas and I do not want to be a 'newbie' between my new colleagues. I start reading many IT literatures and I come on many dilemmas. For example, BIOS update screwed up my mobo. How can I find out which board my Dell laptop has? I would appreciate any help. |

| I do not understand how people can decide to choose for lifetime occupation something just because they think it should be affordable. If you don't know much about information technologies and you do not like those things, I advice you to think again about going on any IT university. I do not think that you will be able to finish your IT studding. If you persist in your intentions then, at least, first go on few computer courses. That should give you a decent chance to overcome the differences in knowledge between you and your colleagues. Anyway, let get back to your question about how can you find out which board your Dell laptop has. You can see that on startup screen during boot. If you cannot see that, push Pause or F2 button to stop the booting procedure and then read that information. |

| I think that our colleague was rather hard with you. I agree that your IT studding would be easier with a little more experience in information technologies. However, I do not agree that it is impossible to do that without that starting knowledge. If you really want something then nothing should be impossible. I was also in your position before few years. I did not have much experience with computers but I decided to become a computer programmer. Now I have two more exams to become a graduated computer programmer. As always, will is much more important then simple knowledge. Therefore, if you strongly decide to go to IT University, then go and do not listen to anybody else. From your question about how can you find out which board your Dell laptop has, I can see that you do not read many IT magazines. Those magazines could be valuable sources of information. Anyway, I disagree with my colleague. Some laptops do show that information on boot, but others do not. The best thing that you can do is to go on Dell site and find your laptop on it. Then you can read which motherboard it has in its specifications. |
