Hmm, that is weird, seems to be an error. Your BIOS is dated
12/28/2004, which is consistent with an older BIOS release for M863G
V5.1 with that same date. The latest BIOS available for M863G V1.5 is
dated 09/16/2004.
BTW, there is a newer BIOS for V5.1 dated 05/16/2005. I think your
BIOS ID string contains a typo and should read V5.1 instead of V5.0, I
can find no search hits for V5.0 of this board. It happens.
Could you remove the side panel and look on the motherboard for silk
screened model information? It should have the model and version
printed on the board, usually near the memory slots on PC Chips boards.
Either way, driver downloads from the motherboard manufacturer are
usually very out-dated. I would recommend the latest drivers from the
chipset and peripheral IC manufacturer. Doesn't matter which version
of the board you have.

A newer driver for CMedia audio codecs should be available from Windows
Update, but you'll first need a base driver installed like the one
above. The latest USB2.0 drivers should be included with XP SP1 or
SP2, or from Windows Update.
