You might want to try the Dell- Linux list.  There are various tools
discussed there that may be of interest to you.

Dmidecode may get you what you are looking for in term of Mobo information.

One is a Dell Poweredge 2650.  But when I got your message last night, I 
figured that I'd try it at home on a system running an MSI motherboard (I 
can't remember what model, dang it) running an AMD Athlon XP 2100+.  Same 
deal.

If you know of a way that I can find the motherboard model remotely, I'll 
check (I couldn't find anything in /proc).

Are you using lm_sensors with RHEL?
