You gave us the MB number you need in the bottom of this email.
P5VX
Doing a search on Google I cam across this manufacturers manual page:
http://www.ecs.com.tw/support/support.htm
There are several versions of the board so you will need to look at the
manuals to see which one you have. You should be able to find a bios update
here also.
There is a little program that you can get (it's free) called "ctbios". It
can be run at a DOS prompt to find out more about the board you have. I do
not have the webpage for a download, but you can plug that name into Google
and find it that way.
Hope this helps,
Fran
