Identifying Motherboard's Make and Model

[Hari Hari Mau]

Hello all !

I am looking for a utility which can help me identifying the make and
model of motherboard. I need such a utility because of the following:

I am helping my dear old aunt reviving her old Pentium 3 computer. Her
HD has gone kaput and I'm giving her my still working 80GB to make her
PC works again.

I've got a problem though ...

This dear ol' aunt doesn't know where she has put the driver CD for
this PC, a no-name brand generic PC.

I tried eyeballing the mobo for a clue, unfortunately, I can't find
any "mark" or "model" printed anywhere.

Now I'm stumped.

How to download the required drivers if I don't know the make and
model of the motherboard, which has integrated VGA graphic?

Dear Gurus, please help !

If there's any utility out there that can tell me the make and model
of the motherboard of my aunt's PC, I would be extremely grateful !

Is there such utility that I can downloaded?

Please help !!

Thank you all for reading !!

When I tried getting Everest, I was sent to a page that said the
freeware version is no longer available.

I have been using Belarc for an excellent hardware / software / OS
audit program

Dosent that assume a working install of windoze first?

Installing XP onto a "blank" PC, 95% of the time, XP will start up and
give you a Windows XP system where you can find the info.

Well, I am FAR from a guru, but I have found Aida to be more thorough
than Belarc:

I find the free version of EVEREST helps with stuff like this.

Be very careful what boot CD you use with Win98SE,
especially don't boot Bart PE for XP, it will trash your
MBR.
There is a boot CD called Ultimate Boot CD, or
UBCD. It is safe to use on Win98SE.
Google for it (ubcd) and d/l it and burn it.
Then you can boot it and run system tools, motherboard
tools, NSSI, which will tell you the make model and
chipset (under COMMAND in the execute bar).
As someone pointed out, everest may require that
it run under Windows, and maybe some of the others,
this will work around that. Good luck.

Download and run Belarc Advisor: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html .
Your motherboard is listed as "Main Circuit Board".

No he's telling us all how much of a bloody idiot he is.

That is a deliberate lie.

Just as well. Pretty much every knows by now to the exact opposite of
anything *you* recommend.

LOL. Did he recommend that "Microsoft approved" registry cleaner again
this time? Well, they say "hope springs eternal", so who knows, he may
see the light - some day.

Proving just how much of an idiot YOU are.

Bruce is definitely not a moron by any standards.

Belarc is safe and trusted and certainly not "suspect-ware" !!

He honestly can't see his own reflection. It would be sad, if it weren't
so pathetic.

Vampires, who can't see their reflection, are not pathetic, they're
dangerous.

But here's a tip that may save your life:

This business about a wooden stake to dispatch a vampire is pure Hollywood
bullshit. If you read Bram Stoker's book, "Dracula," you'll find that it's a
BOWIE KNIFE through the heart, not some pissant tent-peg!

I'm in Texas. We have a LOT of Bowie knives in Texas and hardly ANY vampire
problem.
