HI guys, looking for any info on this board but can't find anything.
Could it be a notorious fake cache board?

Is this your board ?

Looks pretty decent, with 3.6V for the Cyrix 5x86 etc. Expertchip might be re-branded ALi

The cache chips do not look fake but even if they are, you have the sockets - replace them.

Does not have a PS2 connector - then again, 95% of 486 boards lack that as well.

Any help is welcomed! Chipset is SIS 85C471
