(About the motherboard brand) What about SiSandra2003?
It doesn't sound familiar, and the year is not possible. The machine is from 2001.
Sounds like a VIA KT class chipset. At least VIA KT133A. IF your motherboard's PCB colour has a pink/reddish in colour, it's certainly (or a good bet) a MSI built motherboard.
Nope, I saw it when I installed a CD-RW after the DVD combo drive stopped reading CDs. It's standard green.
Anyway, my BIOS text is:

There are only a few memory settings in the BIOS. and even those very limited. Even my P200's BIOS from 1996 has more. But here they are:
Bank Interleave : Disabled
DRMA Timing by SPD : Yes
SDRAM CAS Latency : Auto*
DRAM/Clock : Auto*
(* - ghosted)
All BIOS are set to uncached (and unshadowed), apart from Video BIOS.
I thought this board (the Pegasos) is aimed at the enthusiasts/tinker market...(sigh)...
To be fair, the target for the Pegasos is multiple OS's, including MacOS. Macs use OpenFirmware as well, so you can see the reason they picked it. Also, Articia-S is set to a solid 100MHz bus with 100MHz memory access, and has no real settings.
