need to know how to determine motherboard version

[apostate]

Hi,
I dont want to flash the wrong BIOS,

On the ECS motherboard range, I know that it is K7S5A, but I dont know which version number. It says in tiny writing somewhere v 3.1, would that be it?

Try a program called CPU-Z, it tells alot of info about your computer:
processor, mobo, memory, etc. Just google it.

start>my computer>see system info>Hardware tab> device manager

Slight problem, I am flashing the BIOS because I cant install XP since the BIOS is so old for the size of hard disk I am putting in. I cant check it by start-mycomp etc

Unfortunately not, somewhere in the attic and that is offbounds for now...

the model number itself is on BIOS, but not the version numbers... although I heard it said on another forum that this does not matter for my kind of motherboard...

Wow people just see if you can get a version of 98 off like bittorrent then load up CPU-z in there and you could check out whatever you want.Umm it mightnot be worth it to instal XP becuase this PC sounds like a pretty old one and it wouldnt run XP well and also freeze alot.
WHat Specs?
