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 !!

It's quite possible that she can't find the disc because it doesn't
exist.
Have you tried installing Windows yet?
It may not need MB drivers.

If the pc is on XP you can use:
start-run-"dxdiag"
your motherboard make and model will be under "system"

I could be wrong but thats the way he came across.

You don't need to know the mobo to attach that hard drive.

Not easy to believe someone wants to start a project to revive an 8
year old PC based on a no-name mobo. CPU is probably not much more
than 800 MHz and any Slot 1 board may be loose. The fans will be
vulnerable to failure. The optical drive will feel slow. Probably has
no USB. That's not a good machine for an aunt.

To be fair it does look like spam. It is a sparse message telling nobody in
particular (directed at everyone) to download and use a product that nobody
immediately asked for. That’s /very/ spam like.

However, it may just be that there have been several instances of people asking
for help and not knowing how to identify their motherboard, and this was just
like a flyer on the wall to help out. Of course it is not really going to do
much good since the kind of people that need help figuring out what motherboard
they have don’t usually peruse for random, helpful posts.

It looks sparse because the earlier three messages before Milt's reply did
not propagate to the Microsoft server.

Good point, plus it the thread started with an “Re:” subject which means it’s a
continuation of a previous thread. I was just pointing out that at face value it
looks spamish (spammish? spammy? spamtastical?)

Yes, I can see that. db’s got some issues.
 
This is a limping help. I had a problem with the OS or some sort of
mismatch between the bios and something else. MS sent me a 'page' which
told you how to find who the manufacturer of your motherboard is. It is
simply putting a command (forgot) into the run. Try tracking it down at MS.
