Inspect the board very closely. Names or model numbers are often located between the expansion slots, but may be anywhere else. OEM boards can be tough to ID. Also do as suggested in the previous post.

You have an old LPX form factor board, used exclusively by OEM's. The easiest way to identify it is by the case it came in!

BTW - all hard drive manufacturers have free utilities that will allow you to run large hard drives without having to update anything (BIOS, etc.) This would be another option open to you. I've done it many times and have never had a problem.

Most likely the only place you'll find BIOS revisions is NEC's website. They had their boards custom modified, er, custom made. You'll most likely have to use partitioning software (available for free from your hard drive manufacturer) in order to go large.
