Q: Where will I find the model number of the mainboard?
A: There are two places where you can find the model number of the mainboard:
1. Somewhere between the PCI slots you shall find MS-xxxx or the marketing
name like “K7T Turbo”. You can also find the version number beside it. 2. At
the back cover of the user's manual.
Q: What do you mean by PCB version 1?
A: PCB is printed circuit board. Saying PCB version 1 is the same as saying
motherboard version 1.
Q: Why does my AMD 133FSB cannot be autodetected by the mainboard?
A: Due to AMD CPU design, CPU FSB 133 will not be autodetected by the
motherboard. So user need to set the FSB manually to 133.

them but says an error saying "Primary IDE Channel no 80 Conductor
Cable Installed"

100 HDD, but you're using the conductor 40 ATA-33 cable.
