Found a new program, called lshw. It just gives a list of the hardware in the computer, much like /etc/sysconfig/hwconf. But, the part I like is that it also gives you the model of the motherboard. So, it saves me a trip of walking to other buildings to see what’s inside a computer.

Example showing motherboard (output is long):
