Re: Identify unknown PCI devices

To be sure of the hardware, download EVEREST free from
www.lavalys.com and run the program. It will report on all
hardware and installed software on the computer. It even
will include links to updates and hardware model and serial
numbers.

| When you received your Dell, you probably received an OEM
Dell Windows XP Operating System
| CD, and you ALSO probably received a Dell Drivers and
Utilities CD which has the drivers
| you need. If you did not upgrade at the time of purchase,
you probably do not have a
| display adapter card, but instead have an Intel graphics
controller integrated on your
| motherboard, whose drivers would be on that Dell Utilities
and Drivers CD. Insert that
| CD, and it should autoplay to a screen which will allow
you to select what you need.
