Is it correct the board itself is labeled as 650B-ATX somewhere on the top surface? If SM-P6LX2 is on a sticky label, please remove it carefully to see what is under that.

Sector was selling a board as the i440LX3
BIOS ID: 09/07/98-i440LX-w83977-2A69JsHgC-00
BIOS Eval: Intel i440LX3 per 1.5(for w-02)

SH is Shining Yuan Enterprises aka LuckyTech

Hey, we know this one already.
LuckyTech P6LX3 1.5

It may be possible LuckyTech released this board in more than one version.

Intel 440LX3 REV : C ID : 12/16/1998-i440LX-W83977-2A69JSHHC
= P6LX2 22/02/1999-i440lx-w83977-2a69jshhc-00

Really puzzling. It looks like both the P6LX2 and the P6LX3 were marketed as 650B-ATX by Jamicon which might explain why some of those simply die after flashing them with an 650B-ATX bios from Jamicon...

On the top of my motherboard it is written 'P6LX3'. And my mother board is a Winbond. Anything I need to know. I hope I had bought a good one when I did 5-6 years back. I really didn't know much about computers back then and I had another person buy the components and assemble it for me.

Well, the company has gone and their tech support section always has left much room for improvement, to put it mildly. The boards seem of reasonable quality, given the amount of questions we still get for them (e.g. a lot survived all these years).

I also think it is high time to get a new computer as well. I'll use this one for office work and low level games. Thanks once again. I guess a bios updates for features close to what nowadays motherboard offer is a dream. But my main problem of larger disk support is over.
