barcode numbers (aka serial numbers) will not be found on the net. Only type numbers!

How can you search for an ID number when TheMusicPirate still hasn't provided one??? This is what this whole discussion is about. The ID number IS ALWAYS printed on the mobo, only TheMusicPirate doesn't know were to look... "Goldfish" is not the ID number, it is a pseudo name for a certain type of mobo, which could well be a whole series of different types of mobo's.

I already said that and we can see that by his screenshots...

Asus did produce the Goldfish2, only it was made especially for computer manufacturers such as compaq and hp
it includes NO AGP
onboard video
3 pci slots
This might be it, but as I said earlier, until he finds the EXACT type number id, you can NOT be sure. Looks can be decieving and different mobo's can look the same.
He needs to look for big written white numbers on his mobo, located usually near the middle or between slots or something. Until he can't find those, you wont know for sure what mobo it is that he has...
EDIT: and don't say I'm wrong, 'cause I already found different versions of the mobo, but they all look exactly the same (that is: the photo they use to represent it, are all the same; yet the specification are different and thus also the type id)

that is exactlly what my mobo looks like.
I'm sorry, but how do you know for sure? (eg: where is that ping square connector you've talking about earlier?)
If you are so sure that this is your mobo, then you also had a clear look on it's entire surface and you would have found the mobo type id, I've been asking for from the beginning...

That's the same. The company is still called AsusTek Computing in full. And it also depends on in which country you're in; in some countries the company is called simply Asus...

There are still PCI graphics cards widely available! (of course they wont have the specifics of the top-notch graphics cards you can have)
