Big Oops! Please help a newbie
I suspect it is the first one. MS8308E. I am unfortunatley unable to
open the case until my friend opens it for me. A case of shaky hands
I'm afraid., I have emailed the seller of the chip (which is yet to
arrive) to ask about stepping and whther the chip is locked. I believe
he did not have time to test it himself before selling it to me.
Cheers
David

Looking on the Matsonic web site I got this information:-

The first board (EP) would be the best. Do you know which one you have?
Model number should be on the board and rev. should be on sticker on one
of the ISA/PCI sockets. All use the same ram. PC133 would be best, but it
shouldn't matter as long as the 2600+ cpu isn't locked.
