Identify Motherboards

I got a couple of older Mobo's I have acquired over the years that I can't remember how to identify

They do not have any identification between the PCI / ISA slots so I am clueless on how to discern them.

Can anybody share some wisdom on how to do this without setting them up in a system??




Thanks,


David

Is it possible to show us pics of the mobo's ?
Maybe some with higher res so we can check some of the controller chips, the socket/slot and the memory slots.

We might be able to at least narrow down what CPU/RAM it supports ... the mobo make/model is normally near the AGP slot ... in case the mobo's have AGP.
