what mobo is this? need onboard video drivers

[grasshopperbe]

a friend of me brought his pc in last week with a heavy nimda infection. it had avg free installed, but allmost all files were infected(a few thousand) i unpartitioned, and installed win98 again. the problem is that i cant find drivers for the onboard video card. the guy who it belongs to lost mobo disc and booklet, and the pc was so messed up i coulnt get in control panel .
from earlier i remember the video card was called
alladin tnt2 32mb in control panel

the pc's specs are.
p733
(cant find brandname on mobo itself)
via chipset (ill post the spec number if it might help )
onboard video (alladin tnt2) and onboard sound.(i think via ac97, but im not sure)
no separate agp slot.

Can anyone point me to the win98 drivers and if possible audio drivers. Or does anyone know what mobo this is?
if i can give any more useful info i might find on the mobo please let me know.
many thanks in advance

It maybe the ASUS CUA motherboard. Check the motherboard with the power off and with a flashlight and find the maker and if it is the ASUS CUA then the drivers you need are located here....

thanks for the swift reply, edge345.
ill open it this evening (when the guy it belongs to is here, i prefer that myself, so that they can see what im doing)
do you have any idea where on the mobo i should look?
i have pretty bad eyesight so it ll take me some time to find it.

Alternatively, a Google search for the BIOS string should give you some hits and will ID the mobo.

where could i find the bios string?
is it at bootup (when reading the ram, etc) at the bottom of the screen? or am i totally wrong here (my native language isnt english, live in belgium)

I looked at two motherboards and one has the name on the bottom-right towards the case front. The second one has the name in the center of the board. I worked on a few new asus boards last week and the asus name was stamped in the middle.

The bios string Mike was talking about should be in the bios at the top of the screen and at the begining of the boot start post on the top of the screen, you may have to press the tab key to see the boot start post screen....

i just searched on the mobo, but i couln't find any name.
i was mistaking about the chipset and onboard sound
the onboard sound chip reads cm8738 and he mobo has a Sis chipset.
i havent booted it yet (just reconnected everything) so ill look for the bios string.
looking at it, it seems to me like a sort of 'micro atx' or so , it only has 3 pci slots.

Look for ECS and the # after that. I think its a ecsL7***

Here are the drivers you wanted, choose the SiS7012 PCI audio drivers V1.06
and the video card drivers SiS650 VGA drivers V2.07k….
