Hope you have better luck than I did, I have almost the same machine except with an FX chipset. My mobo is a *Preseident* brand and apparently there is no info for them.
Try here to look up yours: http://www.ping.be/bios/
there is another site like this but I cant find the url.
Please email me if you find your info- mine may be there as well.

If your entire BIOS string is 2A59GF2AC-00, then your board is made by Freetech and it is the 586F63T. Browsing the company's website turned up nothing (they apparently only support their newer boards), but it looks like their FTP site may have what you are looking for. Try browsing here:

ftp://ftp.freetech.com/pub/bios/586/f63/

If you go up a couple of levels you can download a manual for your board in .pdf format. It would probably be a good idea to take a look at the manual first to make sure that the manual matches your motherboard. You sure wouldn't want to flash your BIOS with the wrong file.

Good luck

Got some money and a credit card,how about surfing over to www.mrbios.com and getting a good bios that is v2k compliant
Just give them your bios string when you email them and they should respond promptly telling you if they have an upgrade
This bios will support drives over 8.4 gigs and is y2k compliant It also runs better with WIndows 98 or 95 , It got rid of the bsods on my Packard Bell
