You look good on the chipsets.  

The superIO will probally have a name like, ITE, NSC, SMC, winbond. 
It will probally be in a quad flat pack so its a rectangular surface
mount chip with gull wing pins on all sides.

The bios will either be a 32pin DIP or PLCC or perhaps a TSOP.  the
DIP is very rectangular and has pins that come out of the chip bend 90
degrees and then extend past the chip.  What you normally think of for
a chip.  It either has to be mounted in holes or in a socket.

The PLCC will be a square and will have pins on the side that are
kinda shaped like a D.  It can be surface mounted or have a socket.

The TSOP will be very wide and flat with pins on the sides.  Gull wing
but they will be really small and close together.  TSOP are really low
profile.  Itgoing to be surface mounted.

If you can take a high res picture(s) of the board I can probally find
them for you.
