Sorry I don't have a digital camera here right now to show picture of this board.
I've goggled some info but can't find a match.
I found the manufacturers website and entered socket 462 (http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff1/letrocrew/PCDDR266Mboardpaint.jpg) (it's AMD Athlon processor), but where do find the info on the board for the next entry, "Model"?
(The MBoard shown in the link does not look like mine).
What other info do I need to provide here?
Thanks,
Mike

Use CPUID --> http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html (http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html)

I don't have it installed yet. I have an ATX full tower case in which the CPU went bad. I want to install this MBoard/CPU to replace that.
I need to order a few things to go with this board (Memory, graphics card ect) but I need to know memory specs ect.

Did'nt follow the link so I thought of just needing some additional info. for your mobo. Ok did you look at any areas such as near the expansion slots or cards marking for the model of your mobo? Also look beside the processor slot or CPU. If not, then its possible that you need to take it to a computer repair shop and have them physically check at the same time look for replacements and upgrades that fits the mobo. Wait for other members to give additional suggestions.

I looked with a magnifying glass and my best glasses, although, with my old eyes, it may still be right there in bold print. lol
I searched through every model # listed on the manufacturers site and I believe I found it. The picture is identical (http://www.pcchips.com.tw/PCCWebSite/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?detailid=11&CategoryID=1&DetailName=Manual&MenuID=1&LanID=0) and I'll view the manual I downloaded as soon as I get through updating my Office 2000 software (in process now).
I'll post back when I have more info.
Thanks Jason! :)

Well, I installed the mboard and only connected 1 known good HD. When powered on, the led's light up and PS fan runs for ~ 5 seconds then everything quits. No beeps - nothing shows on monitor. This is a used mboard and cpu a friend gave me. He said it was supposed to be good but he's not known as being real honest sometimes. I may be just wasting my time unless there is something one of you guru's can suggest me trying? ???
Otherwise I'll start saving for a new mboard/cpu.

Check CMOS battery and try replacing it. You could check the battery using a voltmeter( removed from mobo). If you have onboard sound, video for the mobo, use it first if you happen to insert any cards to troubleshoot. A RAM module(s) swapping one or two on power up would be next and make sure its compatible. PSU would be next then CPU or Mobo along the way.

Battery test 3.1v with DVOM.
No expansion cards are installed.
Mboard has onboard audio, video and eithernet.
It has 2 slots for ddr memory modules and 2 slots for sdr modules. I have both types of known good modules and have tried both types, separately (user manual says not to use both types simutaniously.
I dont have another AMD socket 462 CPU handy.

Swap now with another PSU. Use atleast one RAM for testing. Without knowing the real condition of the used mobo, the test and swapping will reveal it.
