I recently discovered a nice little free program that takes a lot of the
guesswork out of determining the manufacturer of various hardware
components. I often find myself working on computers that the customers have
lost all the manuals and driver disks for. I used SiSoftSaundra for a long
time but that's not free and it's rather large. Lockergnome mentioned a
utility called Adia a while back and I tried it and have been using it ever
since. You can get information and download it at:

Subject: [PCBUILD] motherboard identity
Good day list,
I am working on a machine that has an Intel "slot one" motherboard, and
there are no specific identifying features anywhere on the board. (bios
upgrade is what I have in mind) Recently I visited the Intel website and
found a utility that was able to determine the exact board by using the BIOS
string. With outside distractions, I failed to save the web page into my
favorites list, and now I can no longer seem to locate that page. During
POST, the bois string is not displayed long enough to copy it down.
I have the board narrowed down to these two, but can't be sure:
Intel SE440BX
Intel SE440BX-2
The bios upgrades are different for each board, so getting the exact upgrade
is what I have in mind instead of ending up with a rather large paper
weight!
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Dean Kiley
