[Ham-Computers] RE: Motherboard ID Help

[Hsu, Aaron (NBC Universal)]

As soon as you mentioned red/purple with an orange shroud or mount, first
company I thought of is also ECS.  Were you able to determine anything from
the POST page?

Is the video on-board or is it an add-in card (AGP or PCI)?  Either way,
you'll need to identify the chipset in use.  Unfortunately, it's probably
buried under a heatsink.  If it's an add-in card, you might be able to pull
some numbers off the card itself.

More importantly, you need to determine what system chipset is in use and
install the chipset drivers.  Without the chipset drivers, the system is
running sub-optimally.  In fact, some devices might not be properly
identified until the chipset drivers are installed.  For an AMD system, the
chipset is most likely by Nvidia, SIS, or VIA.

Good luck!

Aaron,

I think it's red, with maybe a hint of purple, but can't tell for sure, as I

have trouble with certain shades of red and purple. For what it's worth, 
there's an orange cooling fin in not quite the middle of the board.

I want to say that this is an ECS board, but their website's so graphics 
intensive for a dialup user like me, I doubt that I've covered ten percent
of the 
all the pictures they have.

Incidentally, I did manage to get it up and running (responding to this 
message with it) but until I find at least some video drivers for it, I'm
stuck 
with 680 x 480 16 colors :-(
