Identifying Motherboard's Make and Model

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 !!

When I tried getting Everest, I was sent to a page that said the
freeware version is no longer available.

I have been using Belarc for an excellent hardware / software / OS
audit program
