U723D has an active north bridge cooling fan which the other three boards don’t have suggesting it is REV A01. "FEMALE" in description refers to ?
eBay seller sometimes lists XPS 710 or 700 under the name of 720. Buyer aware
look up exact model using service tag of pc and ask seller to disclose motherboard DP/N. some 700/710 may have been upgraded to 720, so motherboard DP/N or rear IO panel pic are final proof of XPS 720.
The XPS 710 shipped with older Core 2 Duo and initial Core 2 Quad processors. The XPS 720 improved motherboard capability and BIOS support to officially handle faster 45nm/65nm quad-core processors like the Q6600, QX6850, and Q9450, with users successfully running even higher Yorkfield chips.
The main difference between the Dell XPS 700 and the XPS 710 is that the Dell XPS 710 introduced support for Intel's quad-core processors, whereas the Dell XPS 700 originally launched with dual-core Intel Core 2 Duo and Pentium Extreme Edition processors
To upgrade 700/710 motherboard to 720 not only do user need to buy the 720 board but also front IO assembly for 720 (with 28 pin front panel I/O connector) and 28 pin front IO ribbon cable for 720.
here is a pro tip without service tag or motherboard DP/N to quickly tell from a glimpse of rear IO whether seller listed "XPS 720" is actually 700 or 710.
Since I prefer minimal engineering to preserve the unique 720/710/700 case appeal and do not plan to change from BTX to ATX (which involves cutting case rear panel), I see two requirements: having a working back up 720 motherboard and proprietary power supply with 24 and 20 pin connectors

there are quite a few 710/700 front IO assembly on the market but virtually no 720 front IO. to obtain a 720 front IO now one would need to find a nonworking 720 unit to salvage part.
note the older IO board has a strange Dell plug WJ459. It doesn’t go to motherboard.
whereas the 720 IO has a white 10 pin audio connector with cable connected to motherboard audio socket too. The 710/700 IO and motherboard does not have this white audio socket.
