Unknown MSI P4 Mainboard - Cannot find it anywhere.

Hello forum,
Maybe you can help me a little on this. I got what looks like a genunine MSI board yesterday.
However, I can't find it anywhere, the name and number are a little strange, as it doesn't even
appear in the ARCHIVES section.
Maybe too new, maybe too old, do this thing came from the future or what ?
Model Name    : PM8M-V
Model Number : MS-7104
Any one here know if this board is a genuine MSI or, did I just got a very well done fake one?
I will take pictures of the box, the contents and the board itself in the event nobody knows
what am I talking about. Just let me know, ok ?
Sincerely,

Well to give an answer to you both:
I'm looking to find out which board is this, because curiously, there were 85 in our distribuitor.
Once they were all sold, the distribuitor told us that this PM8M-V board "Has been discontinued
by MSI"
In just 2 days...  Pretty strange uh ?
And the number between the PCI slots is MS-7104, Ver. 1.0, the same as it is in the box and
in the manual.
Oh yeah, and it does support RAID via the Serial ATA controller.
There is a detail in the box, that got my attention. The pictured board has a Socket 478B for
the CPU, as the board itself. However, even when both the pictured board and the pictured
Socket for the CPU is a Socket 478B which for mPGA processors, the description in the box says
that is has a LGA 775 Socket for the lastest Intel® Pentium 4 and Celeron Processors.
Now, it looks like whoever wrote this description for the box, if not the graphic designer itself,
doesn't appears to know anything about the diferences between those to processor designs.
ORIGINAL TEXT NEXT TO CPU SOCKET PHOTO IN THE BOX:
800 MHz CPU
* Designed for Intel® Pentium® 4 Prescott (LGA 775) Processors.
* Supports Intel® Pentium® 4 Prescott CPU up to 3.4 Ghz above,
   and Intel® Pentium® 4 Celeron(tm) CPU.
I mean, doesn't MSI should know that this is a mistake ?
If wondering again why I'm asking, come to think that a recently
launched board, gets discontinued in just 2 days, and no MSI
website on the internet list it by Model Name or Model number ?
I find that very strange.
Well, if that board is a fake one, I'm happy that only one came
to my hands, and that maybe I won't see that model again.
As I found that this board is not listed in any of the manufacturer's
websites, a client can also find it, and suit us for selling unsuported
or unknown boards, that's why I ask.
We just want to make sure we're not selling something that can
get us into trouble.
See you all later...
