| 185248 | 2003-10-20 20:51:00 | I got an old computer and have been trying to figure out the motherboard's make and model. This is what I got after turning on the PC (before POST): (6610C023) Intel i440BX PCI set (TM), and at the left bottom I got: 08/04/1998-i440BX-ITE867-2A69KH2BC-00 But, when using Aida32 and Sandra, it says that the mb name is: Shuttle HOT - 649/661 I am able to find some information using Google search on Shuttle HOT 649A but not 649. How do I get the exact name of my Motherboard so that I can download the user manual and driver, etc. ? |

| 185250 | 2003-10-20 21:50:00 | You will have to open up the case and check by the PCI/ISA slots for a version number or FCC code. Could probably determine the board by it's BIOS string too, have a look at the vendor's website, http://www.shuttle.com/ e.g. 6610C023 = 661 but I don't know what 0C023 stands for, it's probably a version of the BIOS, so your board is a 661 but you'll need the version number. |

| 185253 | 2003-10-21 04:44:00 | Hmmm, I put i440BX-ITE867-2A69KH2BC-00 into Google and it came up with some interesting things - it looks like that number is related to the BIOS. Try it yourself and have a look at the link to Motherboards.org - MoboCop, that may be of some help. |

| 185254 | 2003-10-21 05:05:00 | Unfortunately Susan, I can tell you the board has an Intel 440BX chipset, and is an Award BIOS, and I can also say that Shuttle wouldn't be the only vendors using that BIOS so unless you can successfully match it up with Shuttle's motherboard, and not to mention that earlier or newer versions could still use the same BIOS you'd have trouble finding out what the board is. I think opening the case is the only way successfully, unless you can find a history of components being used on shuttle motherboards which will determine what it is, e.g. how many RAM slots, ISA slots, PCI slots, onboard peripherals (e.g. onboard sound, vga, etc also brand/model/version for those too) and anything else that maybe relevant, like the CPU being used now and FSB speed. You maybe able to put it together and discover your true board, although definitely the long way about it. |

| 185255 | 2003-10-21 08:47:00 | What are the chances of finding the correct make and model of the mb if I were to 'turn the mb up-side-down' - 100%, 90%, 70% or 50% ? | bk T (215) | ||
| 185256 | 2003-10-22 00:41:00 | Have another look at the top of the board. Get a decent light and look hard. Manufacturers often give the labeling a very low priority. It isa legal requirement (in the US anyway) for it to have an "FCC ID: " number ... which shows (at least) who the manufacturer is (the first 3 characters of the ID are the code for that). Usually the tail end of the ID is the manufacturer's model number. The www.fcc.gov/site has a "Search" button which gets you into the ID database search (with a bit of hunting). | Graham L (2) | ||
| 185257 | 2003-10-22 07:28:00 | Have a look here (www.shuttle.com) to help identify your board. And probablyhere (ftp://ftp.shuttle.com/) to download bios, manuals etc. |
