Please use the ... DO NOT KNOW ... search engine at the lottery - it is to identify a board as good as possible .
TXPRO should be M560/M560TG M565 or M575

AFAIK, "TOP GUN" is printed on the M560TG board.

Yes it is:
http://www.stud.fernuni-hagen.de/q39981 ... ?MB=M560TG
But let's make this simple:
M560: 4 PCI, 4 ISA, 2 DIMM
M560TG: 5 PCI, 3 ISA, 3 DIMM, 512KB cache
M565: same as M560TG with 1MB cache
M575: 4 PCI, 3 ISA, 3 DIMM, audio
Note: M560TG and M565 use same BIOS.

Does this mean you have been successful in flashing an updated BIOS? And is all well with it?
If you have not updated your BIOS, what is the state of your system now - is it functioning normally?
Like everyone here I am just interested in some feedback from the outcome of this topic.
