That is a very old chipset, i have a similar board, but it is an ABIT brand, which is now out of business, and it is not compatible with windows 7. i am sorry, but, if the manufacturer had no windows 7 drivers, you may only be able to upgrade as far as windows vista.
sometimes, you can get vista drivers to work in windows 7, but i really doubt that it will be that easy.
if you describe why you need a new os, and what you use the computer for, i might have better recomendations than vista.

Is the driver the right one? What operating system do you use?
Try disabling/re-enabling the device and/or reinstalling the driver.
Type your model number into the search box on this page:

Thank you Matthew, I dont really need a new OS :) I was just curious if I can install windows 7 on this very old motherboard. It seems that I can't, and I didn't like Vista at all :). Other OS's like linux are not my favorites and so I'll go with my old XP
