What program are you using to identify the motherboard?

Sisoft Sandra is a good program that will identify it with the manufacture and the model number if you didn't use that.

Did you try resetting the bios?

I believe its a "Matsonic Board", but not sure though.

Is their another progie that will
Identify the board. I cannot use
sandra as it does not fit on a floppy.
The comp has no internet?

Take the cover off and have a look. There should be some markings on it.

Heya!

Heres is a great link for tracing a MB using the bios info:

Here is the info on your bios numbers:

Intel Triton VX chipset -
I430VX-02071997C-00: Houston Technologies or PcChips or Mastonic 5500 or Zida (tomato board) 5SVX or MG (Microgram) or Eurone matsonic ms-5010

You will need to find the number on the motherboard, to trace it to the exact manufacturer.
It will be on a sticker, or silk-screened on the board itself.

Theirs nothing on the board except V1.6 in the top left.
