This is an old board.......

The only thing on it is
HX-430B

...and on the back is a stamped #
391-5305-B00R50

I'm stumped. Any ideas ?

Tks,
Matt

HX430 is an intel moniker for the chipset onboard, is there an FCC number?

Nope....... nothing. Just the numbers mentioned above.

It's a Socket 7 with 4 x EDO sockets, 3 PCI, and 3 ISA. It also has a single USB header - which makes it old - but not ancient.

Max FSB is 66 mhz, and yes -it is an Intel chipset.
I'm having a hard time reading the stamp on the core logic chip. It's got a nice protective coating of dust and dirt.

If I had to guess, I'd put this as a good candidate for an old pentium - maybe the 133 mhz I have lying around in the garage.......


I'm just trying to get some specifics on the board so that I can put it in a machine and sell it (cheap, of course - and assuming it works)

Any info is appreciated.

It could very well be an old Intel made motherboard. If you get it to POST write down the bios string and we can all have a crack at it.

Could be an Intel AGATE, NEWPORT, or TUSCON motherboard.

Don, can you identify the chipset on the mainboard and does it have integrated video as well as a AGP slot?

I've got a desktop base unit with a sticker on the bottom showing 'TriGem 5000 (GS2670)'. It has on board sound and I am trying to find out where to connect the CD-ROM sound cable. I've searched a lot and found a lot of TriGem mobos but not this one. I would be very grateful for any help.

Rex Sara, when you turn on the computer at the first screen press the pause/break key and write down the bios string usually found at the bottom of the screen then post back here and we can identify it that way.

Thanks for your message. The bios string is:

Can't really do much with id of the motherboard from the string as it apparently doesn't follow the norm barring any typo's....From what I can gather from it it is a 440EX Chipset on the mainboard however so 66MHZ front side bus is the maximum theoretical memory data transfer speed so it may support old celerons as well as older Pentium 2 processors. As far as where the cdrom cable plugs in check in device manager for the type of sound that is detected and look for that chip on the mainboard, the cdrom audio connector probably isn't very far away.

Thanks again for your reply. You are right about old celerons - there is a 300mhz one on board. The mobo is new to me in that as well as the PCI/ISA slots, all the disk I/Fs (hard, CD, floppy) are on a riser board. Also on the riser board there are 3 sets of connectors, CN70, CN72 & CN73, that would all take the CD sound cable. They are probably associated with CD, video and modem sound, but I don't know which is which. I'm tempted just to try them but am afraid that might do some damage.
E.S.

They should all be inputs at this point so there is no worry for damage, Try each one, as you go mute the unused in the sound properties Modem, video, etc. til the cdrom has sound.

I tried them all but no success. I'll have to put it on the back burner for the moment. Anyway thanks very much for your help.

My brothers computer is a desktop base unit with a sticker on the bottom showing 'TriGem 5000 (GS2670)'. It has on board sound and I am trying to find the drivers for the motherboard as I can't get the sound to work. The bios string is American Megatrends Inc,
62-3149-090798-00101111-071595-440EX-BEIJING-5.

Please can you help me.

The chipset is 440EX by intel so mainboard drivers are native to Windows 98 and up. The sound is more than likely made by Crystal or ESS but not 100% positive. The easy way to find out is open the computer case and look on the mainboard near the audio connectors for the sound chip. Crystal was very common at 1 time for Trigem and E-machine.

I have tried installing the crystal driver cs4235 but it seems to be the wrong one. Do you think there is any way of finding a all in one motherboard driver.
