    Best way is to get SiSoft Sandra (do a search on software sites, www.download.com ) and look under "PCI/AGP bus", you'll see the name in "Vendor" or other lines.

    Best Regards ...

    You could also try IDing it by the FCC ID sticker on the card, and going here:

    About 1/2way down the page, on the right is the FCC ID search functions...

    See if there's a logo as soon as the power comes on to the computer. Sometimes there's some info on the BIOS chip.

    Also, does Windows recognize it as anything?
