Very often the startup BIOS screen (before the Windows Startup logo
appears) will identify the manufacturer and/or the motherboard model
number.

Watch the startup screens carefully and use the Pause/Break key on the
keyboard to stop the boot process so you can read the screen.

If that does not work then you will have to take the cover off the
machine and look for the manufacturer's name/logo and motherboard
model number. These are usually stenciled in fairly large type.
Common locations include between the PCI card slots, the area between
the AGP video slot and the CPU chip, or on the edge of the motherboard
near the power connector, but they can be anywhere.

Also check for the original purchase invoice for the computer. Very
often these are retained and sometimes they are quite detailed, giving
the component specifications. You might also look for the manuals
and pamphlets that came with the computer. Often a motherboard manual
is included.


As for your Linksys network card you are going to need the proper
drivers for it. Take the card out of the computer and examine it
carefully for a model number. Then go to the Linksys web site and
download the drivers for that model.

Good luck

In addition to Ron's suggestions, you can identify your hardware, often including
your motherboard, using the free utility, Everest:
