stealth_logic25 Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Due to the fact that I'm a "true gamer", I have an almost crazy detirmination to sqeeze every last bit of performance out of my PC. Recently, I found out that I can get more performance by downloading the recent AGP mini port drivers for my mother board (that,s what mnakes PC Gaming great - so many drivers to download .) Naturally, this requires figuring out the model number on my intel motherboard. So, question is how do I figure out the model numbr on my motherboard (as you might have guessed)?

TARWMSRK Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Pop open the case and look for the model number stamped somewhere OR look at your instruction manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealth_logic25 Posted November 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 To see an example of the number that I'm looking for go here and click on "pentium 4 based motherboards" at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrivener Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 And have you manually set your Virtual Memory? You'd be surprised at the performance increase you get by NOT letting Windows manage it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Try Intel® Chipset Identification Utility it has two handy utilities. They will also work with none Intel manufactured motherboards. or get the bios string during bootup, if your getting a company logo / splash screen rather than a post screen you may need to go into the bios and disable it. Then visit somewhere like www.wimsbios.com and track down the chipset and manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
