There should be a model number other than the socket number somewhere on that board. Most times it is located either on the edge of the board towards the back or far side away from the chip. Or it is located right in the middle of the board...

In google search the numbers listed shows that it may be a FoxConn board. But not a guarantee.

Since you have it out....locate any series of numbers and google them for a possible answer.

At the far end from the chipset it is written FC tested to comply with FCC standards for home and office use.and one more box is there with: Canada ICES-003 Class/Class B
Nothing else i could find on the Motherboard
should i search for "Canada ICES-003 Class/Class B"?

Keep looking there is a model number somewhere. There has to be! It may be in very small letters/digits....most will start with a letter or two as company identifiers then a series of digits and letters

Might help if you post the model/manufacturer of your PC as well. Don't know? Look at the case.

Download & run CPUZ...click on the Mainboard tab. If that doesn't list the info you need, download & run SIW.

Sorry I did not read your post carefully. Now I notice you are unable to install XP on it.

Have you tried installing any other OS (Linux or Windows 98SE)?

Most motherboards have some kind of markings on them.. Google for any markings you see and you may find something.
