How do you determine which chipset you have?  I just picked up the 6x86 
bundled with a triton mb.  From the motherboard manual:

  Main Chipset:     INTEL TRITON CHIPSET
                    SB82371FB-PIIX*1, SB82437-TSC*1, S82438-TPD*2
  IO Chipset:       SMB665/SMC669/UMC8669/ALI M5113
                    PCI Bus Master IDE Embedded Via SB82371FB

Thanks...
