What board is this and is it any good ?
What board is this and is it any good ?
Looks like any number of PII BX-chipset boards.
I/O, I/O,
It's off to disk I go,
With a bit and a byte
And a read and a write,
I/O, I/O
i think it could be Q-LITY P3BX
It's a Q-Lity P3BX. Interesting that they went with AMI BIOS instead of Award.

That's pretty pricey for an otherwise totally uninteresting Slot 1 board. Have you looked on Amibay? You should find lots there for less than that, even if you have to pay shipping across Europe I should know, I have at least one for sale myself
That said, if you want a testing board, I wouldn't choose either this one or the one I'm selling. The i440BX chipset is the fastest slot 1 chipset, but not the most compatible. Ideally you'd want something with a Via ApolloPro133A (694X) chipset, as that supports 133MHz FSB (BX can frequently do 133MHz, but at that speed you're overclocking the AGP port, and PCI bus too if you're unlucky) as well as AGP 2.0 (4X). It also supports those nasty DIMMs with 16Mx4 and 32Mx4 chips.
Most 694X boards are So370 FC-PGA, but there were still enough Slot1 versions made. Asus' P3V4X is well-known, I have a Tyan Trinity 400 (no, not for sale, this is my test board) and there are lots more out there.
yeah thats quite expensive, i will search for something on that via chipset, no rush.
Meanwhille i got some s370 cpus to test on my soltek sl-65kv2-t
I got another board to identify
Chaintech 6ATA2. It has an Apollo Pro 133 (without "A") chipset thus is not a high end performer.
