    IBM motherboard resources on the web

    Alright... Call me stupid, but why am I having a hell of a time finding any information at all on IBM's website on their motherboard products (not that I tried too hard )... I need to find a certain utility for a colleague at work. I read a number on a tag on the mobo but I'm not even sure if it's an IBM product/part number: FRU PN 49P1605 (it's a rev. 1.2).

    Thanks!

    Google gave a couple of results for 49P1605 (both at IBM), you really didn't try too hard did you

    My uncle.

    Its a highly-regarded search engine. Yahoo also gives the same results.

    Why is that? They generate the same results...

    Google has image search, sure, but the meat of hte matter is web searching.

    Well... Simply because I've used Yahoo! a lot in the past and I've used Google more recently, and I always felt Google gave more extensive and relevant results than Yahoo! with certain searchs (I remember even being amazed at some point at the accuracy in the results). This being said, I haven't used Yahoo! since very long and this may have changed.

    And... Why not. Google has image search... Helps sometimes.

    Do a search for "rude worms" on both Yahoo and Google. You'll find that they're the same....

    True, siyan. And here's an interesting explanation: Yahoo Renews With Google, Changes Results

    That also explains why Yahoo hasn't always been like that. I still personally prefer to use Google simply because of the cleaner interface and and less commercial clutter around the search results.
