I am experencing a conflict between two devices and I was looking into finding a possible bios upgrade to correct the problem but I am unsure of the model of the motherboard.

The label on the mother board is 6LTM M102 which is a Chaintech motherboard id for a Intel 440LX clone.

The problem is, when I break down the bios id the motherboard id is 6ESA M10X.

So which one do I use when I go looking for bios update? :?:

The BIOS information is as follows:

BIOS Date: 11/03/97
BIOS Type: Award Modular BIOS V4.51PG
BIOS ID: 11/03/97-i440LX-W977-2A69JC39C-00
OEM Sign-On 11/03/1997
Chipset: Intel 440EX/LX rev 3
Superio: Winbond 977TF rev 0 found at port 3F0h

If the board has been yours ever since you bought it, I'd trust what's on the sticker.

A 6ESA would have i440EX in the Bios-ID and you have i440LX
There is no i440LX clone - your motherboard uses exact this chipset

Edit : 6ESA series uses a different Multi I/O chip so it's not possible to be a 6ESA - you have a 6LTM as the sticker says
