I do believe that is what is affectionately referred to as a PC Schitz motherboard. Junk.

Send a message via ICQ to HackinCowboy
Any "Intergrated" motherboard is most likely to be placed in the "Burn For Heat" category. Most don't allow any upgrades or if they do they're a pain in the butt as well as expensive.

M810LMR is a PC Chips Mobo, Socket A, On-Board Video (Shared), On-Board Sound,On-Board Modem, and On-Board LAN. Two Ram Slots, Two PCI Slots, 1 AGP
SIS580 Chipset.
If this board had a built in toilet, it probably wouldn't flush.
Before you buy anything by PC Chips,type in PC-Chips in the Search Section of this forum and read. I believe after a couple of threads you will see the light.
For the most part you do not want intergrated video, LAN, and Modem features, and I am not a fan of intergrated sound. The problem is that the more on-board features you have the more that it parasites processor speed and RAm.
