I have a Mobo that was built for HP. I believe it is a socket seven. I'm running a amd 300 cpu on it. I have no idea what video adapter was built in and would like to run at least 256 colors instead of 16. Is there a generic driver that is standard to use so I can get aleast 256 colors out of this board. I have had no luck finding a match for this board even on HP. I believe it is a PSPA5-10.5.It also says " SPAX- rev1.01. And a bar code that reads SRT143998. I really need some help here. Thanks Bruce

Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?

When you first turn the system on and as it starts to post you will see a number.

eg 2A59IZ1DC-00 (example)

Write the number down and goto http://www.wimsbios.com

It will tell you what MOBO & BIOS you have. It will also give you a link to MOBO manf. web page as well.

I'm told that you can't do that with Phoenix bios. There is no number that comes up even with keyboard error. I really believe the board is a PSPA5 made for hp machines.There is no help from HP. There site does not reconize that number. My only hope is to disable the on board video.So far I have not been able to figure out the jumpers but in time I will. Thanks Bruce
