I came across a mobo that i bought back in 98.
It is a Power Color P5520-233, this is what the sticker attached to the mobo says.
Pulled the sticker off and it revealed GCT-MGXM-.
Ive been searching on google for over an hour trying to find the drivers for this board.
Power Color site shows nothing for any mobo at all (both us and tw).
The "GCT" stands for "Global Ciriut Technologies" an apparent OEM maker but no luck for drivers.
I did find a pic of the exact mobo but it is in a language I can't understand.
This board has built in vid and sound, 2 168 pin sdram slots, 2 PCI and 2 ISA slots. AT form factor with either a AT or ATX PS.

Heres the link to the only thing I can find.

The mobo in the pic is the same as mine.

Thanks

That sound's like it's a Cyrix MediaGXm plus 5520 south bridge. Drivers for these aren't published by Cyrix (now National Semiconductor), your board OEM is responsible for putting them out. But I see you found them

Yes, that is what I have, BC and Kruzin found them for me.
I was wondering if winxp would just install the drivers but I realized that the site shows no mobo drivers for xp so I will throw 95A on here.
