You need an application that can recognize your system. A really good one is Aida32 but the maker of that
has retired it. Maybe someone else can suggest a better alternative.

Anyway that will tell you your video card and you can then find the drivers for it. But in all likeihood
Windows 2000 installed the correct drivers for the card when it was installed.

There is another way native to Windows. Go to right-click My Computer | Manage | System Information |
Hardware Resources | IRQ. You should see your video card maker in that assuming of course that
Windows 2000 recognizes them.
