FSB 400 Support

Starting from PCB version 2.0, The A7N8X Deluxe motherboard supports Front Side Bus (FSB) 400. The users of PCB 1.06 or earlier version can update their motherboard BIOS to get FSB 400 support. The PCB (Printed Circuit Board) version is located beside the motherboard name printed on the motherboard. . PCB 2.0 BIOS version or later are not compatible with PCB 1.06 or earlier BIOS versions.

I have no idea what board I have. I have no idea what they're talking about when they say "motherboard name," as I can't seem to find any text on the board at all. I sure hope they don't mean the back of the board.

Are there any other A7N8X owners who know a software method of checking the hardware version of my board? I'm guessing it's a 1.x, since I bought it a while ago.

On the old Asus board I've got, the board model number is silk screened in white letters between two of the PCI slots. It's really really old tho so they might have changed it since.

... in white letters between two of the PCI slots.

Yep. Should be between the 2nd and 3rd PCI slot (the first being the one next to the AGP slot).

Take a look at some of these pictures and you'll see it.

Huh, interesting... I did not see that at all when I looked. I must be going blind. *edit* I'll look for it when I get home *edit*
