Sorry, but I don't think the geekiest of geeks will be able to figure out what that is.

You'll either need a high res shot, or to look around the board for the brand/model.

TBH, I've never seen a mobo without the model wrote on it, so it's either extremely cheap or you aren't looking hard enough.

Also, the chips should have models/brands on them. One will be an audio chip. Follow the traces from the audio out to a chip, and read what brand/model it is, then find drivers.

Realtek is a common one.

Looks to be an asus board with an intel chipset of some type. It may be an OEM board is it out of a hp or compaq? Asus makes some of their mobos. You could always try to install the generic ac97 sound drivers.

+1 on the Asus board. Try a handful of their most common audio drivers.

A couple things that may be helpful:

Intel chipset
Looks like an AGP vid slot
Looks like it can take both DDR or SDR RAM
May have SATA capabilities... (hard to tell what the 2 small slots are to the right of the primary IDE channel)

Looks similar to the Asus P4C800 Deluxe 478 mobo... find those drivers, they'll probably work.
