No, MD-1768 is the MPN.

I doubt the motherboard has the socket type written on it. But, if you were to Google your computer, you would find that it is a P4, socket 478.

Get a program like Berlarc Advisor, it shows you a list of all the hardware in your computer.

This may work...Hit start, right-click on My Computer, and click Manage, then click Device manager. Scroll down that list and find System devices. Under that category, find System board and right click and click properties. This might be some usable info in this window, but I couldn't find the model number...
