Default VIA PT800 BIOS Update

Anyone know where I can find the BIOS update for this mobo, VIA PT800 with VT8237 Southbridge? It currently has Award Phoenix BIOS. Is it possible to install on top of the old BIOS with a different brand (e.g. AMI, American Megatrends)?

It just says Unspecified, you might need to pop the side off and see if you can see a Make and Model on the board itself. By chance its not a Dell,HP or something like that, if so whats the Model number
