Msi

someone gave me and old computer.  Said it died.

It says MSI 533 on the north bridge heat sink.

It's a pentium cpu

Interesting it has 4 slots but see NO video(AGP or PCI Express X16 slot) card slot?????

AHHHHH  I do however see a location that says AGP1 but looks like the slot is gone and just holes for mounting and many soldered spot.


3 are standard PCI and 1 looks very much like a PCI Express x1 slot?

I see printed on it "MS-6174 VER: 1"

Looking at the MSI site but keep coming up with product does not exist????

Looks like I have 2 HD's and 2 CD's one Read only the other looks like a rewritable, and perhaps some memory and a pentium CPU?

anyone have any ideas as to what model MB this might be?



Ya I know not much info to go on is there.

Might just start taking it apart.

No idea what still works and doesn't.

Because it's an very old MB.. almost from stone age
IIRC it's from '99, a socket370 mainboard (Celeron & Pentium III), i810 chipset (with onboard graphics ??)

Try this link. It's text link. It has product specifications for that motherboard.

to find it, I just did a search for "MS-6174".


That ought to give you specs. There were also driver links for that board in the search results.

I had a heck of a time finding anything beyond only driver downloads for that motherboard.  No specs pages and I found conflicting info.  I found this On a German site
"Intel PIII EB (FCPGA,CuMine), FSB: 133MHz
MS-6214 - ( MS-6214/6174 v1.0 ) - Max CPU 933mhz"

But I found search strings on Google saying it was a Pentium 4.   And from your description on above it looks like it's probably this:

Pentium 4 (most likely a Northwood since the bus speed appears to be 533mhz).  Socket 478.

As for the no AGP slots, the motherboard probably is onboard video and is a micro ATX.  Does the motherboard appear to be shorter than other motherboards you've seen?  Also is there a monitor (VGA) plug somewhere on the back of the motherboard (where you plug your keyboard in and stuff)?

Well I guess I was wrong according to wabbits site.

It appears someone cut the vga wiring????

I see what looks like a connector but the ribbon has been cut off short right at the connector.

Yes it looks like a micro.

Read what you put there Wabbit, Thanks.

This system is lookin very much like a spare parts bin.

Thank everyone for a response, and so quickly!
