Hello. Can anybody help identify this board? It is SIS chipset. I need to know, if it is 486 or Pentium Board. CPU seems as some kind of strange color, not gray ceramic, as usual. Maybe overdrive?

At the same time, maybe I would like to start identify thread, so there are not milion threads for it. If you need something to identify, just post image here.

It looks like a 486 board, with a QFP chip on a circuit board. Probably AMD 5x86

See my graphics card database at www.gpuzoo.com
Constantly being worked on. Feel free to message me with any corrections or details of cards you would like me to research and add.

I see I need to dig up a settings sheet for that. @W.x. : can you confirm/deny it is a match? Any markings on the board anywhere?

Hello. It's obsolete, I don't even remember, where I've found it or why I've needed it. I already have other 486 board, that is identified.
But you can use this thread to get help by others to identify motherboard, I thought it this way, cause I think it's often request. I mean like "one-time request". So thank you, I don't need it anymore, to be honest, I cannot even remember anything about this motherboard. Probably only needed quick identify only in that short time.

Dear Sirs, I have a socket 7 motherboard but without any brand and therefore I cannot change the jumpers to change the processor. I have seen many pictures of motherboards but none of them is this one. Can somebody help?. Thank you a lot.

Looks very similar to this maybe: https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/newtec … t-5ta#downloads NewTech/SMT 5TA

[edit to add:] Thread that the photos for that board came from: How to make this old motherboard work again?

You are welcome, in this case you have added some new info. In case you get this board working, can you please make a bios dump with uniflash later on?

As we don't have an actual bios file dump yet:

hardly visible, but from the packaging i'm guessing it's the 32Khz crystal for the RTC.
