WARNING: This guide is somewhat outdated due to the introduction of the D2C2 and D2E drive chipsets. If you bought your Wii in late April 2008 or later, it is recommended that you ask in the forums.
Contents
General
The Wii has had different drive chipsets since its launch. The best way to know which version your console has is to open it and look at the text written on the chipset itself.
Another way to know is using the serial number of the console. It's not 100% accurate and not yet complete, but gives a quick way to check your console's chipset.
Serial numbers
Glossary:
- GC2 - DMS or GC2R - D2A: Chip compatible with 1st generation modchips
- GC2R - D2B: Chip compatible with 2nd generation modchip
- GC2 - D2B: Chip compatible with 2nd generation modchip and with 1st generation modchips (if modification on 3 chip's legs missing)
- GC2 - D2C: Chip compatible with 2nd generation modchip
- GC2 - D1A: Chip compatible with 2nd generation modchip
Europe
You can insert into table cells your Wii serial number. At least 6 digits are appreciated!

Notes
For European models it seems the D2B chip was introduced somewhere between LEH 1088XXXX and LEH 1097XXXX.
If your serial is below LEH 1088XXXX there is a 98% chance you don't have the D2B chip.
I your serial is between LEH 1088XXXX and LEH 1097XXXX the chance you have the D2B chip is about 50%.
If your serial is above LEH 1097XXXX there is a 98% chance you have the D2B chip.
GC2 - D2C is sold in France (and probably the rest of Europe) since 29-may-2007

Notes
For North-America it appears that there are three different ranges in use (LU1/LU3/LU5). Its possible that each range is used in a different area, factory or language pack.
Each range will have a number where the D2B chip is introduced.
For LU1 this seems to be around LU 104XXXXXX and LU 105XXXXXX.
For LU3 it is between LU30667XXXX and LU3070XXXXX and
for LU5 it is somewhere between LU 5077XXXXX and LU50853XXXX.
For the new Wii with the legs cut, it's somewhere between LU 51525XXXX and LU 51640XXXX
