Theres a program called CPU-Z from cpuid..

It will tell you the model number as well as the bios version you have. If the soundcard is built into the motherboard, you should be able to visit the manufacturer's website to download the correct drivers.

i used CPU-Z and found out that i have the i845gl chipset and the BIOS is Phoenix Teechnologies. I went to the Inel site, do i need to update the BIOS?
Thanks

Only if it fixes a problem you are having or increases the upgradablity the mobo and you think you will need it. While upgrading the BIOS usually goes smoothly, it CAN trash your mobo if something goes wrong. So we don't recommend doing it just to do it.
