I.D. This MoBo E139761

[kopfjaeger]

Greetings Tekkies,

MoBo for identification:

Socket 7, 3 PCI, 3 ISA, ATX form factor, appears to support 3 (!) CD-ROM sound patch cords, 2 USB aft.

BIOS reads:

AMI BIOS 1992
1.00.07.DQ0T UAV

On silkscreen:

E139761

D67B8070

[On Chips]
Intel PCiSet
SB82371SB

SMC
FDC37C932FR

ATi
3D RageII

I've searched and initial results pointed me towards a Gateway OEM TTE430vX 2 Dimm, but that was not a match

According to the AMI BIOS website the BIOS indicates that this is a Gateway OEM board

Another search indicated that it is a IBM PC PL 330 ProMMX I have not found an image or graphic o confirm whether that is correct or not. The board DOES resemble the Gateway TE430vx with some differences.

I hope to put a K6-III/550 MHz or at least 450 MHz, assuming that it is compatible and I can fine a chip for it. Thus far, I have dropped a Pentium 200MMX in the socket. It will boot, seek out RAM, FDD, CD, HD, etc. and then lock up. I imagine that there may be jumper voltage issues which may be causing this.

QUESTIONS:

1) What is the make and model of this board?

2) Is it compatible with an AMD K6-III/45- - 550 CPU, or at the very least, a K6-2/533 MHz CPU?

Thanks!

You'd probably get more help by posting this in the Motherboards forum.

hmmm since its a Intel Chipset then I doubt that it will support the AMD cpu Intel is intel So right now its really hard to figure out what mobo it is by that info Just look where the PCI slots are it should say what mobo it is?

Smells like an Intel board. While Intel's socket-7 CHIPSETS do run K6 family processors just fine, Intel's own BOARDS had their BIOSes written to specifically NOT allow that.
And even if it does, it's a 66 MHz chipset, meaning that it wouldn't take you beyond 400 MHz anyhow.

Found out the answer:

1.00.xx.DQ0T: Gateway 2000 P5200 ("Hitman" motherboard)
1.00.xx.DQ0T: Gateway 2000 P5200 ("Hitman" motherboard)
http://www.wimsbios.com/index.htm?/numbersami.shtml
http://www.pc-phoenix.de/themen/bios...rd_numbers.htm

Gateway Hitman
Hitman 166 / 200 MHz MMX
BIOS ID String 1.00.07.DQ0T

Now my next question will be:

After I flash the BIOS on this baby, will it be able to take an AMD K6-2/533 MHz CPU? This board is interesting in that it can handle the digital sound inputs from 3 (count 'em!) CD-ROM drives. Given that the case I have for this is a monstrosity with 4 CD-Drive bays, and a new ballsy power supply, this could be a fun machine. (ahem, of course, taking into account that this IS ancient technology)....

DID YOU GUYS FINALLY FIGURE OUT THIS IS A P2 -- A

PENTIUM 2 I got this for my kids around 1998 --top of the line back then and still runs great. I put IBM Server PC100 ECC memory in it but it is still s PENTIUM 2 -- I think someone thought it was a P4 ??? How could that be way back then?

[John Prophet]

its a socket 7 board..so its definitely not a p2..its a P1 board

okay...lol..now I see this http://www.alancomputech.com/151-00022-00.html says its a 440bx board which is definitely not a socket 7 board, but rather a p2/p3 type of board.

-----

another socket 7 http://www.vworlds.org/e139761_intel_motherboard.html came in gateways evidently

-----

so looks like there are two different ones...a socket 7 gateway board and a slot1 board.

... and it being an Intel OEM board, it for sure won't run an AMD processor. In fact, Intel's own mainboards of the socket-7 era had their BIOS written to deliberately not fire up when a non-Intel processor is found.

[thriftgirl62]

It is a PENTIUM 2 and mine says it's running at 400 MHz and it IS an INTEL processor -- INTEL MOTHERBOARD MU440EX with a SLOT 1 and 2 DIMM slots
-- I put IBM server memory in it and it runs great P100-322-620P I think that's what it said on the stick and it's ECC even though this motherboard is not supposed to support ECC but it works with 1 stick of 128MB

-- I still have the ORIGINAL CD for the Motherboard it if anyone needs it???

[ComputersXP]

hey

Could u send me the cd via msn add me johnrandall51@hotmail.com anyway how big is the cdrom

i have a question of my own

i have the gateway system

but i put the orriginal hdd in another system but now when i boot it up it will say insert Bootable Device but it wil find the hdd ...can i get a answe ??? thxs
