HELP identifying a vintage motherboard

you guys are mostly talkin waaay over my head. Sorry :P I do occasionally sell as "untested" on fleabay. BUT Ive never sold something as such 'knowing' it doesnt work. No harm, scam or foul in that IMO. Im not setup to test most items. I will plug in n test a complete tower to boot to bios before selling any parts as tested/working. I also mark parts to avoid fraudulent returns, and state that in listings.

Yes, there were a fair amount of silver ram. I do not recall why, but I am betting the temps didn't run as high.

8 sticks of silver ram. I think I read the 486 came out in 1989 err 90. from my research, Im guessing the board is an early 90s model.

Yup Gus, Im that "over 50 crowd" :P
