Motherboard/Bios of an old ASUSTeK Computer INC. P2B REV
I have tried many (nth) sites to no avail...
I need to find the motherboard software for: Asustek 1997 (ASUS9712),
# 8370D28312970 (?)
Board (from BelArc): ASUSTeK Computer INC. P2B REV 1.XX
Bus Clock: 100
Bios: ASUS P2B ACPI
As it is, I have not modem connection, no network and each time I put the setting to 256 colours or high 16bits, it comes back to 16 colours.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Poulbot

What you're looking for are the drivers for the onboard components of your motherboard. You need to find the model number of the motherboard. It's silkscreened onto your motherboard somewhere and it'll probably take you a while to find the right thing. Best bet if you're not sure what you're looking for is to take the various numbers that you find on the motherboard and punch those into Google. From what you listed, it's an Asus motherboard which should help a little.
Good luck.
Perseverance in all matters.

Hello Percy,
Thanks for your reply...So far, I have not be able to find those # and I do not want to take cards out to reach the place...It is an old PII 350 and it looks like some pre-pentium with very little space showing.However, tomorrow is a new day and I shall try again or maybe someone may have the motherboard CD to copy and e-mail...we shall see.
Thanks

Download aida32 and post the results. It will tell us what devices are installed.

Another thing I don't use (like belerac advisor) ... isn't this another one of those 'I won't work right until I know the chipset' thingees ? (just checking as I don't use it )
You are right anyway its his video card driver we want (which we can find other places besides the motherboard cd) ... 'Percy' seems to be ahead of me & think its all onboard ? (I dunno I can't google it) could poulbot put me out of my misery & confirm ? (it ought to easy to see where the agp/pci video is coming out, if its next to pci slots & in the same 'direction', then its seperate).

Noo posted this a few weeks back and I find it much cleaner that belarc. Its pretty good about telling you the actual hardward id's (as compared to what windows thinks it is). My thought was that if poulbot can't/won't pull the cards to see what he's got, this would likely do the job.

I did post it true, but only after a few other people did.
The nice thing about aida32 is it interogates the video bios, so we get to find out what card is there, not what driver windows has (as you get with belarc).
Poulbot, your Asus P2B comes with an AGP slot, but not with a video card in it. Aida32 should tell us what the video card is, then we can get your driver.
Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."
