My supervisor just replaced his mobo with a cheapie "PC Chips" branded board from newegg.com. The board model is M825G. It uses the VIA VT8235 chipset.

I need a video driver, but the one on the site (www.pcchips.com.tw) is only for Windows NT! The driver setup program refuses to run on XP Pro and Windows will not use the drivers when directed to the extracted files. After downloading the NT driver package, it appears to be an S3 video chipset (based on file names and such). S3 is only the brand, I still can't identify the version. VIA's site has too many choices for S3 chipsets, and for all I know the correct driver may be one of the "VIA Integrated Graphics" drivers.

I thought board and chipset manufacturers had worked out problems like this years ago :|
 
VT8235 is the southbridge. What's the northbridge chip? A quick Google shows your mobo most likely uses ProSavage video, so go to viaarena and download the driver.
 
Too late, I already got the original disc that came with the mobo and installed the driver. It's still unforgivable that PCchips does not host it on their site, or that they don't even report the chipset of the board. The North Bridge was not exposed, so I couldn't find out the true chipset version.
 
Unforgivable!

If you click "Downloads" from the main page, instead of looking up the product page, you can only download the Windows NT driver :|
