Could anyone help me find out what type of motherboard this is? The BIOS type is American Megatrends from 7\15\95. The BIOS ID is in the subject and the version is 1.11. I'm try to update the BIOS of my eTower 333id. I wanted to update the processor to a 450MHz. I actually already put the 450 in and the BIOS is only reading it as a 300MHz. I was hoping I could get some help finding the correct BIOS software to update my machine. Thanks for your time and help in advance. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask!

The latest BIOS, 1.12, can be found at this link

but I don't believe your motherboard supports 100 MHz front side bus, which would be needed for it to utilize a Pentium II/III 450 at full speed. The 450 should be running at 4.5x100, but is running at 4.5x66. Don't think there is a jumper to change to 100 MHz FSB.

The i440LX and i440EX chipsets are 66MHz-only. On some boards, they can be overclocked up to 83MHz but never 100MHz.
