HELP - Wich mobo is this?

[skripter]

Hi, i don't know if im posting in the right thread, but anyways...

Does anyone knows wich mobo is this? it looks like MSI but after a google search i didn't got it clear. It clearly has failed caps (click on thumbnail to see bigger pic) and its a super cheapo to use wih the great BrazilFW. I will attempt to recap it with Panasonics FM.
Thanxs in advance!

I found it in my database.

MSI MS-6368.

VIA PLE133 chipset, 686B southbridge. 1GB max ram (2x512)
Integrated video: Trident Blade3D AGP shared memory up to 8mb
Supports coppermine P3, but apparently not Tualatin.

Thx for the info.

Re: HELP - Wich mobo is this?

the PLE133 Chipset also supports Via C3 CPUs BTW
Samuel2 and Ezra cores both have a max. power consumption of about 10W at full load, so they would be perfect if you want to let it run 24/7..

Those Via are great. I recently recaped a customer's SOYO SY-7VCM with a VIA Samuel (those processors are missing the cmov instrucction, altought they are recognized as i686)

#cat /proc/cpuinfo

processor : 0
vendor_id: CentaurHauls
cpu_family: 6
model: 7
model_name: VIA Samuel 2
stepping: 2
cpu_mhz: 731.490
cache_size: 64 KB
fdiv_bug: no
hlt_bug: no
f00f_bug: no
coma_bug: no
fpu: yes
fpu_exeption: yes
cpuid level: 1
wp: es
flags: fpu de tsc msr cx8 mtrr pge mmx 3dnow
bogomips: 1451.62

I will try to get one, but they are very hard to find over here.

Re: HELP - Wich mobo is this?

Yeah, I have a few of the same Via C3 Samuels. They're pretty quick on integer, lousy on floating point - but this doesn't matter for most Linux routing or appliance applications. They're best when used with Via chipsets.

For some reason, RedHat 7.3 ran well on the C3s, but many other RedHat distros have issues either with GCC and CMOV, or the installer barfing during the install. I haven't checked lately with Fedora - FC3 or FC4 should be a nice fit for a 733 MHz CPU.
