Nobody?

I see some of these listed for sale around the world, on line- but nothing so far as technical information. The main attraction to the computer was the turbo LED and the Diamond Monster 3dfx card that was installed. The mb was a bonus and can be replaced.

Obviously, I can discern the basic information from the board itself, and more once it is hand perhaps- but jumper useage is not to be found and I didn't see any helpful imprinted charts on the board itself. Any information would be helpful. If not- thanks for at least taking a look. 😊

The make and model of your board is PCChips M560TG and it uses ALi M1531 Aladdin IV+ chipset. I can't find manual for M560TG but I found manuals for its cousins, M560 V3.1, M560 V4.1 and M565. M560TG has very similar layout as M565 (5PCI, 3ISA, 3DIMM, 4SIMM) but only half of the cache. Wayback Machine does have M560TG but the jumper page is dead.

Its a PC Chips M565 based on visual confirmation.

In some benchmarks that is the fastest Socket 7 motherboard there is, at least out of the ones I have tested (many).

The benchmarks this motherboard (chipset?) really excels in is PCI (video card) bottlenecked DOS benchmarks with a fast CPU like a K6-3 @ 6x83mhz. It does get beaten by some Intel 430TX chipset motherboards in some other benchmarks but never by much.

Im pretty sure your motherboard is the PC Chips M560 TG (Top Gun) and not the M565 as the M565 should have the full 1MB cache. Your board seem to have 512KB like the one I own and benchmarked. There is also a PC Chips M575 with the same chipset, 1mb cache and built in sound.

The top CPU for this board is the vanilla K6-3 450/475 clocked at 6x83 MHz = 500MHz (the PCI bus can be locked at 33 MHz).

I own a couple of PC Chips M575 boards aswell but I have not tested them yet so I do not know if they are even faster than my PC Chips M560 TG.

Eventhough this board is designed by PC Chips/Hsing Tech (manufactured by Elpina?) it's a top performing motherboard well worth using in a build.

Many thanks to Skyscraper, NJRoadfan, and lazibayer for the great information! Your help is very much appreciated.

Seems like the motherboard is worth keeping in the build after all!

The M560TG and M565 have the same jumper config and BIOS.
