There are some utilities to look the PCI bus - someone may have a link

Download and install SANDRA lite. It will give you all the details about all your components. Read the manual!!!

Yo El Butcherino, use a program called Belarc advisor which can tell you exactly what motherboard you have enabling you to figure out what your onBoard sound is (enabling you to be able to download the appropriate driver!)
