Michael, I can't get it to pause (using pause key) long enough to write all the numbers but I do have the manuel. I know that it is an American Megatrends with a sis530 chipset. Super Socket 7. It is made by PC100 and their number is M598LMR. Something odd happened a little while ago. I checked the speed while on the internet and it was over 350. I checked it twice but after getting off the web it came down to 333. I just rebooted and as soon as the desktop cam up it read 351 but quickly changed back to 333. I am using the 350 processor now. I went to set up and to the AMIBIOS PNP SETUP (for the processor) and this it what it reads. CPU PLUG & PLAY----------------------------------------------AUTO CPU BRAND---------------------------------------------------------AMD K6-2 VCCORE VOLTAGE-----------------------------------------------2.2V CPU SPEED-----------------------------------------------------------350 CPU BASE FREQ.---------------------------------------------------100MHz CPU MULTIPLE FACTORY---------------------------------------1.5X/3.5X All that's hapening might be normal, I don't know. I used the AMD SPEED CHECKER to check the speed.
