It's Abit SM5-A board. The latest BIOS is "09/08/97-i430VX-Ali5123-2A59GA1FC-4Y" at ftp://ftp.abit.nl/pub/download/bios/sm5-a/sm54y.exe, but the memory problems you have are most probably due to chipset limitation.

Well thanx guys, this will mean I´m up for an new mobo....

Windows NT 4.0 server works fine with 64MB RAM and Linux too.

I know, but I hoped to put the edo rams into some older machines(486) which run in my home network as workstations for renters(I run a studebt home)

Thanx anyway

[Rainbow]

First try if the 486 boards work with EDO. Some older 486 boards work only with FPM SIMMs and not the newer EDO.

I know it does, this mobo I was writng about is a p100, old but funtional and supporting edo ram.
Then take this one´s dimm and stick it in an 486dx4

I´ll probably come for an advice on these boards ones finished with the 430vx........

see ya
