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.
