Could someone who has an Asus P5A-B (AT) be kind enough to let me know the model of the chip (or a photo)? I bought a motherboard that came without the chip, I have the eeprom reader/writer, but I don't know which chip model to buy

Note that some mobos are set to use different chips and are configured on the board for them.

Ask for a pic of the donor board and match your revision number. Inspect for board configuration differences

They will have to peel their sticker off to show the chip model

Re: ASUS P5A-B Super socket 7 motherboard with a SSD , a Winbond W29EE010 or compatible should be fine .

EDIT : AFAIK, pretty much any 1 Mbit (128K x8) EEPROM (29EE010 variant) in DIP-32 format (I presume it's not PLCC) that works at 5V should be fine. Programming voltage (Vpp) for one of these will probably be 5V as well, though there might be 12V Vpp variants, but this is only significant for programming the chip.
