Where do you find Information on what mother board a computer is using?

The computer has just had windows xp installed and there is no sound drives for the audio. I guess you'd need to find out what motherboard you are using to download the correct driver where do you find this Information?

The computer in question is not on the internet so it will have to be done manually from a download from my computer...I am on the right track or not?

Where do you find Information on what mother board a computer is using?Get the program "Belarc Advisor" from here:

It takes 2 minutes to download, and another 2 to run. It will inventory your computer and tell you EVERYTHING ... all hardware connected, every program installed on it, even which Windows updates you have and need.



It will tell you the model number of your motherborad AND which onboard sound chipset you have. After that,l it's just a matter of going to the manufacturer's website or googling "your sound thingy"+driver+"(your operating system)" and downloading the driver.

If the computer is a "brand name" (such as Dell, HP, Accer, etc) and not a home made computer, then you will not be able to download drivers based on the mother board. Each of the major companies customizes their board so that the generic drivers may not work.



Instead go to the web site of the PC maker, go to their Driver/Download/Support section (varies by PC maker) and look up your computer make and model (not the system board model). You will find the correct drivers for your PC there.

Where do you find Information on what mother board a computer is using?Better still, tell me the computer name and model number, and I'll look online. When/if I find it, (I've had REAL good luck at this for many years!),

I'll send you the links to the info. It should be from the computer manufacturers website/Support. When you see the computer manufacturer name in the link, you'll know this is for real, and not some garbage malware trick.
