I have a motherboard that I have hunted for its jumper settings and can't seem to locate. The bio string is- i430VX-2A59GF3BC-00. It has an Award Bios chip-02/27/97 ver 4.51PG. The motherboard ver is A2. The chipset is Intel PCIset SB82437VX- 1995 is the year.
I hope you can help with locating the settings or even a manual for it.
Thank you
Roy

Sorry I searched the site but had no luck finding a match. The closest Iv'e come thus far is the P55-TV Layout but that is still not a match.
Thanks

Usually the manufacturer's name and model # are screen printed on the motherboard. Almost always the model # can be found on the motherboard, you already have the version # of the board. You can do a web search on the model# and this should lead youthe manufacturer of the motherboard. Should this be a prefab unit, Compaq, Dell, ect., you can go to their website and search the model# of the computer. . Hope this helps.

The model # silked on this board is-Intel 82430 VX. I have searched using this info on Intel and other sites with no luck. I may be doing something wrong in my search but wouldn't have a clue as to what it is.
Thanks

I am sorry but both of these sites were not the board I am looking for.Does Tech Repulic have any way of accepting a picture of my board? I wll tell you the Ide contollers are on the lower right corner of the board. It has 1 dimm and 4 72 pin simm slots in the upper left cornner. It has a 72 pin (brown) slot for cache ram above the proc. on mid.right side. Has a TV pin set just above the keyboard connector.
I hope this helps. Let me know about the picture and I will try to send one.
Thanks

I need to let you all know that the question was answered only after a friend located a number on a ISA slot. He used that number and the site given by stroke311@hotmail.com
I have written stroke311@hotmail.com and apologized for rejecting his answer to soon. The points really belong to him and the site he recomended. I am sorry for any inconvience this may have caused.
