The number you gave is for the Chipset which is used on a variety of boards such as the Ausus CUBX, Shuttle, Abit and so on.
You need to find out the motherboard manufacturer first.

Heres a sight that will help you Identify your Motherboard Manufacturer and the Bios
Just enter the numbers of your now Bios in the box.
The Bios string is usually the number sequence that appears on the screen at Bootup
Use the Pause button to read it and write it down, then enter it. Here
