Try running nvram-wakeup's detection script (heed all the warnings the
program has first etc etc) - on my old Pundit-R system it gave the
following output:

################################################
##  Mainboard autodetection information:
##
##    - Mainboard vendor:   "ASUSTeK Computer INC."
##    - Mainboard type:     "P4R8L"
##    - Mainboard revision: "1.xx"
##    - BIOS vendor:        "American Megatrends Inc."
##    - BIOS version:       "1002.006"
##    - BIOS release:       "07/01/2004"

It's likely it can be of some use. I'm pretty sure there will be other
apps than can give the same information too.
