Hi,

I have an ASUS motherboard it appears... I was told it was a Gigabyte,
but looking around for identification, I see "ASUS" written on it, and
found this newsgroup via google, and well... what do I have?

The board has some large chips that say "ALi", there is "PSA" written
somewhere, it has an Award BIOS, socket 7, two USB's,... but where is
the model number/name written on the board?

Can anyone help?

That's an Asus P5A.

You have an Asus of course. The gigabyte one is the GA-5AX rev 4.1A, it
looks a bit like the Asus one (s7, same ali chips, agp + 5 PCI + 2 ISA)
save the lack of onboard sound.

As already pointed in the thread, it's the Asus P5A model. Looking a bit
closer between the PCI slots you will also see the revision number which
is always a useful thing to know about one's board.
