V84Sm and V84SX. Need links for manual, bios and drivers. Thnx in advance.

apparently there are no such boards..

socket? chipset? layout? anything? (my guess: i845, S478)

They look like Acer/Aopen or even Jetway partnumbers, not PcPartner ones.

V845SM and V845SX are printed on the PCB side (component side) very clearly and in bold letters. This is the only hint i have. I think it is a 400 FSB compliant motherboard running at SDRAM speed.

it would be nice if you could be more specific and post some more details (like numbers on stickers, bios strings).

drivers for the boards are available at viaarena.com

seeing extra characters compared to your original posting

It is released by Vesta motherboards which is part of IngramMicro so it is an OEM board but now to retrieve the original PcPartner number. Check the top left corner top surface of the board for a small size number like 35-xxxx-xx and reply with that.

PcPartner P4X266AS4-258X looks like a good candidate

P4M266MS4-259M perhaps? I cannot find any pictures of it, only a manual and the layout shown there matches the board entirely including the power connector location and orientation.

My candidates:
PC Partner P4M266AMS4-259MA (NON STR)
PC Partner P4M266AMS4-A22MA (NON STR)
PC Partner P4M266MS4-259M

P4M266 chipset, not P4M266A so I fear we are agreeing on the V845SM alias board

Maybe Noel can send a picture...
What about this one:

Posted: **Thu Jul 27, 2006 9:21 pm**

nope, the power connector on the V845SM is vertical, see your thumbnail picture.

Posted: **Thu Jul 27, 2006 9:48 pm**

right board, wrong revision. this is a closer match:
