i have just upgraded an old computer of mine from win 95 to Me. but wen i done so i didn't have the drivers for anything so was really relying on windows (bad idea i no). anyways now all i can get is 16 colours from my graphics card. it is an onboard graphics card (ahem) 4meg (ahem) and the processor is a cyrix 300 M II. i dnt no wot the mainboard is but i am guessing that i will need to no since that is where the card is. i have tried pcizard and pc inventory to see if these can tell me but no luck :(

i really need some ones help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very simple to id you motherboard. During bootup, note the bios string that appears in the lower left of your monitor screen.... use the pause/break key to freeze the screen long enough to write the string down. Then either repost here with the bios string or visit the website link below for help with id'ing your mb.

Also, note the video bios information displayed in the upper left of your screen during the first 2-7 seconds of bootup... that will give you a clue what video chipset is in your system. :hdspin:

the AMIBIOS string is

51-0831-001437-00101111-071595


i think the manufacturer is - Hsing Enterprise Co., Ltd

thanks for the help, even though i hope u can help me more :)

Most likely is a M571 by PcChips. Similiar boards are sold by Elpina, Eurone, Amptron. Check those sites for video drivers... better yet, examine your motherboard and look for id numbers on the video chipset. :hdspin:

If the motherboard is Pcchips download a file from the bios downloads like I did mine was dmiview10.exe and it tells you every bit of hardware you have on your motherboard and the version number helps alot for driver downloads. Amptron also has this download

Another thing you can do is just do a google search for the program

AIDA32 it is freeware and will tell you ALL the specs on your m/b, vid cards, chipsets etc.

Give it a try - many use it, and it works great. Also, spyware and adware free.
