Need to know what mobo I have

[Joyride]

I am looking to upgrade my processor very soon, but I do not know what model of motherboard I have

I know it's from MSI, it supports Athlon processors, and it takes pc2100 ram

Anyway or where I can go to find out what model it is?

Does it have any markings, such as a four-digit number, silk-screened on the circuit board? Do you see any markings on the board's southbridge chip to help ID it? If all else fails you can go to msicomputer.com and visually compare it to the boards they show.

Download Unicore's BIOS AGENT utility, extract to a temp folder, then run BIOSAG. At the BIOS Agent screen, select 'get BIOS info', wait a few seconds for the utility to get your BIOS info, then exit.

The output will be saved to a detect.txt file. Post the contents of that .txt file here and maybe someone can help.

How do you find the make and model on a dead mobo that you may want to revive? What markings to look for and identifiers to cross reference at What Website?

Thanks peeps.
