Yes, it is little bit out of date. Does anyone know a detailed information or a shop who can sell this type of mb?


There's a Cyrix CX-83D87-33 math coprocessor (compatible with Intel's
80387) on that board, so I'd say it's an i386 mobo, running at 33 MHz.


Can't be - if you magnify the empty socket you'll see it's marked socket 3
which was for the i486.

You DO know there's no CPU on that board (it's the empty socket on the
top-right), don't you? And that it can't work without a CPU?

And it only has one SIMM (memory module) installed: I think it
probably needs all four SIMMs to work.


What do you make of that weird slot?
