Chipset I430TX

Chaintech boards are usually "labelled". You should check:
a) any markings on the motherboard
b) the bios chip (look for a model number on the sticker, if any).

it's

5TTM M101

I found a bios; don't think it's 40 gig proof though

could someone path it or something?

That should be 5TTM1 (OR NOT :?: ) But 5TTM1 BIOS is:
04/13/98-i430TX-W83977TF-2A59IC3AC-00
04/13/1998

yes, that's the one, tnx.

I saw that you ""patched" biosses in other threads? is that needed for this one? (40 gig support)

if so, could you please do that? It would help installing computer @ parents ;p
