The board seems to have been added by one F. Sinan, that name seems familiar for some reason...

That board is nowhere, working flawlessly but trying to analyze the jumpers, found speed jumpers and cache and onboard cpu enable, disable.

Cpu identification jumpers are not easy, there is no similar board out there, manufactured by another company.
