as you can see, this board with sis496 chipset supports up to 1mb of cache, but with a very old type of barrel battery.
It looks as though you're not the first to try to figure out who made this board: see Vegge's post.
So maybe it's an Abit PI4?
those cache chips are really suspicious looking... either clones or fake IMHO - not to be trusted in any case

true but i don't care much as they are only 128kb total even if they are real, and i ain't going to use them anyway.
I have this board, unfortunately I'm still unsure who manufactured it exactly.

There's ABIT, Soyo, Silicon Star and Cthulhu knows what else. All have slightly different jumpers which don't match.
I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.
Does it post ? If so can you show a clear picture of the first screen the computer displays (where the ram is counted)
