hey all, im here at a friends house and just got windows up and running, ... time to install the mb, onboard audio and video... oops! i have no idea what the MB is, after search vainly in windows for something that would tell me, i opened up the case... i looked around and all i could really find as far as anything that would tell me what the mb was was a small chip that said SiS 900. Ok i figure the Mb has gotta be made by a company called SiS and another chip i assume is the video chipset says pc133 GFX Pro, which i assume is the video card. Ok with these 2 pieces of info i manage to hunt down the SiS website and the download section... too bad i cant find any drivers for a '900' model!

hoping for some input from you guys...

I faintly remember a site like www.motherboards.org (google it) had a program called MOCOP that would let you put in the bios string and it would tell you everything it could about the motherboard. You also had to include any serial or part numbers, and a config of the board (number of pci, agp, isa, etc...) Goodluck

Download ctbios. It will identify the bios and the board manufacturer. It is in German but you should have no trouble figuring out the manufacturer. Sis is the chipset maker not the motherboard maker.

you could also try a tool called aida32 also now known as everesthome

Maybe that will tell you which hardware is in the system so u can find the drivers

Thanks for your personal thoughts. Not really relevant to this topic, or helpful in anyway.

On a more helpful note... Did you find out what hardware it is?
