On some older boards the battery is underneath the video card, and would be hard to see unless you had the board out or knew where to look.

>I can't find the cmos battery on the mother board. The board is about 4 years old with an AMD 166 cpu. I have looked all over the board thorougly and can't see a battery anywhere, assuming it is a round, silver battery about the size of a 10 cet piece. Is it likely to be a different type of battery or somewhere else other than the mother board.
