Help identifying mobo

[Unicron80]

Got an old Compaq 5441 and darned if I can't find out what model mobo I have. I want to update the BIOS. I've tried a couple of updates that I have found on the net, but all of them say they are incompatible with my mobo. Also, looked all over compaq website and such, could not find what model my mobo is.

Also, checked the board itself, nothing identifying it. Found the FCC website to help identify, but I don't know what number to look for on the board itself.

Any help would be great, thanks.

Some relevant items:

Wim's bios page about compaq

the compaq ftp site

an actual compaq page about the 5441- amazing

from what I understand, it is a gigabyte motherboard, but if you use gigabytes bios, you would probably have to reinstall windows entirely.

Your looking for the FCC reg#--- the first 3 digits or letter...? This is to ID the manufacture of your board... BTW what cpu does it have...? That might help narrow it down and also if possible take a pic and post it (of both whole board and the FCC ID#`s...)
