Here is the story. I think it's a dual Xeon board but I'm not sure. So... What better way to find out then letting the best that Anandtech has look at it. I have many pics, but they are not great. I have written all of the numbers on each of the chips so that you don't need to see the numbers in the pic. Can you tell me what it is?

Note. Commas (,) = new line on the chip.

This picture is of the full board. I am unsure what it is or who makes it. I have my guesses but nothing has turned up.

This picture is of one of the CPU slots and the "Memory Connector" slot. (looks like another P-2 socket) The memory connector is on the right, and the CPU slot is on the left. The chip has this info on it.

Intel, AGPset, FW82443LX, L7374250, SL2KK, Intel 96, 57302660VB, G 738 Korea

http://www.eng.utah.edu/~grahn/mobo/bios.jpg This picture is of the bios, (On the FAR left) and the APIC? controller (text near the chip) Numbers on the bios, (an Intel Flash chip)

Intel, (on the side) E28F004, BVT80, U73??717Y, (? mean paint is gone, I will look at it under a micro scope and see what I find) CP '92'94

The APIC Chip. (has a Big intel I on it)
S82093AA, S U045, L2A0254, NNM 9719 (SG),
N712058P.1, WE18223, MALAYSIA, CR '92'95

The numbers on the white sticker above the Chips are:
IBMD74500576, and PBA 661880-405

In this picture, in the fair uper left hand corner is a VRM socket. Next to that is CPU1 with a picture of a dog with an M on the neck. I think it stands for madiduke?(sp) A little further right and in the middle we have another CPU slot (CPU0), then we have a chip which is the AGP LX chip from above, and the memory connector. Right below the VRM connector is a 7x2 pin array with the label of J10E1. Down from that connector is the floppy and ATX power connector. Right below the ATX connector is a little (CD-ROM audio style_ connector with a label of PIIX4 12C. Right below the floppy is a Fan 0 connector and below that is the scsi narrow connector. (kinda cuts off the picture) Ok, the chip to the right of the scsi connector and to the left of the IDE connector (IDE is behind the serial ports) Is a symbios chip. Numbers are here:

SYMBIOS, LOGIC, 53C810A, 609-0392368, DP04013, 9732N

Further right from the IDE connector is the Intel PCIset chip. Numbers are:

PCIset, FW92371AB, L740IC36, SL23P, Intel (CR) '96

The next chip to the right is the video card chip, and the chips above them are the (1 or .5) meg video ram chips. The numbers on the Cirrus Logic Chip is:

Cirrus Logic, CL-GD54M40-QC-A, 76118-712AB, 9711 A, TAIWAN-W

That is it for that pic. :)

This picture is an above shot of the CPU and memory slots. You can see an Intel I960 raid chip at the lower right above the PCI slots. The numbers for that chip will be posted, but the link to the webpage for that chip is this. http://developer.intel.com/design/i960/ Numbers are these:
Intel, i960, GC80960RD66, L7313067B0, (CR) '94 '97, 57184720SC, E 732,

This picture is of the dual Wide scsi controllers and the Symbios chips for it. The chip information is this:

SYMBIOS, LOGIC, 53C875JB, 609-0392655, DP14254, 9728N KOREA

The little floppy drive like connector on the left is called the "Server Management Feature Conn".

This is a picture of the Intel I960 raid controller. Info is above.

This is a picture of the NSC I/O controller, it's used for floppy, Keyboard, Serial/parallel, and IR. Info is here http://www.national.com/search/search.cgi/design?keywords=PC97307 Chip info is this:

NSC, 2S9742ATE4, (CR) NSC96 A2, PC97307-IBU/VUL

This picture is of all the PCI slots and one of the three ISA slots. There is a lattice chip right above the PCI. the web link is this http://www.latticesemi.com/products/devices/isp1000.html Chip info is this

Lattice, ispLSI 1048E, 70LQ, A736B13

The word COMPEQ (not Compaq) is found and they are the PCB manufacturer. http://www.compeq.com/products.htm

As for other numbers two stickers are found, the one near the APIC controller and the one near the I960 chip
their numbers are:

IBMD74500576 and PBA 661880-405
the other sticker is: 1117555-0001

The board has some numbers on it. The top side has this near the bios, E139761 and the bottum of the board has PB661881-005 number, M1, 2897, 94V-0 and 8(rev?).

As for what it looks like it's most likely an IBM Net-Finity server board. but I wouldn't be posting this if I was sure.

Thanks for any help you might have.
