I just found this socket 7 board with the Philips logo on it and I want to know what computer it came with. At least a picture of the case if anyone has it.
I tried Google but not many good results.
The one thing I could figure out is that it says 586STE/P and I figured out that there is a DFI motherboard named 586STE. Probably the /P is for Philips and DFI licensed that board.

I also look in this Wikipedia entry and it seems that Philips never made Pentium 1 computers "officially" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philips_Computers

If i look at the discoloration of the plastics, it probably had a pretty hot life in a small case.
Maybe it was some kind of computer / recorder for a camera security system, or a cash register?
Philips made a lot of professional stuff.

It appears to have a dual plane voltage. So a k6-3 non plus may work in it but it’s kinda iffy with linear regulators and a minimum of 2.7v which is kinda high for a k6-3. a 3 plus will definitely require voltage mods.

The ram, physically 512mb will fit in it. But wether or not it is supported is another matter. Will depend on board/chipset.

With a k6-3 you can reasonably cache 512mb

These may be of interest>

UPDATE!
I could successfully dump the BIOS and loaded in 86Box and to my surprise it works! And there is a Philips logo at boot.
I replaced the BIOS in the emulated Rise R534F r534f008.bin for the new file and works

Looking at images of motherboards with the 5571 chipset, a heat sink on the northbridge was included more often than not, and yours has residual glue indicating that it once had one; I'd see if you can replace it.

Can you post the file in here so we can include it on The Retro Web/Ultimate Retro?
