Need info on this board.. DR724 out of a NEC from CC

[duritz]

A friend gave me this motherboard that he pulled out of his old NEC computer he bought from circuit city.

There is a big "DR724" on the side by the floppy/ide connectors

I looked that up and got some information on a packard bell bios update.

Other identifying numbers:

bar code in lower left corner: 9JQ02200024 Ver A01-B

It's got onboard video/audio. SIS 5595 chip above the barcode mentioned above and a heatsink by the cpu that reads SIS 620

It has 3 PCI slots and a 4th PCI / shared ISA slot. 2 slots for SDRAM (PC66 or PC100 as noted on mobo)

Has another bar code by the CPU that says 151-00025-000

In the lower right corner it has a barcode that reads 2H0C9X

It also has 2 usb ports.

Is any of this info useful?

Anyways I needed to buy a cpu for it and I needed to know the max it could handle as well as the max memory it can take. It says PGA370 on the cpu and he had a celeron 433 in it before (multiplier is set to 6.5 and bus is set to 66mhz)

So do you guys need me to bust out the digicam and take a pic or is that enough information?

Thanks

Duritz

Most likely it is a GVC motherboard BCM/GVC DL724/DR724. You could shoot GVC tech support and ask them, that's what I did with my 810e mobo.

[EDIT] I did a search, and I managed to get the info you wanted. Here : http://www.uktsupport.co.uk/pb/mb/skye.htm

thanks man .. i got a celeron 400mhz from a friend. it can support up to 466.. bah i'll just leave the 400 in it not like i'll notice any difference. yay max upgrade 256 that's good news. it's got 2 32's in it now so i'll be adding a 128 tomorrow, maybe 2. we shall see

thanks again, i owe ya!

hmmm come to think about it tho, shouldn't i be able to overclock this 400 to 466? i thought celeries were notorious for overclocking? the case i have has 3 fans in it (2 on side blowing in, 1 on top blowing out) hmmmmm whatcha think?

no problem at all bro, anytime.

lol.. old skool overclocking... hehehe. hm... well, since the motherboard doesn't support 75mhz or 83mhz, you'll be making a huge jump from a fsb of 66mhz to 100mhz... your 400mhz celery would be blazing away at 600mhz! lol

you could give it a try... but its risky.. oh, lol, you could always pick one up at ebay.com for pocket change if you happen to burn this one.

good luck!
