23094	2001-10-30 07:48:00	I have just got a old PC to play with, 133mhz, have formatted and installed OS, don't know what video card I have and where to find a driver for it, currently using windows drivers, won't give more than 16 colors as an option? It is on smallest res. with 4mb shared memory? Help... Thanks	Guest (0)

23098	2001-10-30 09:29:00	TIP...how to identify what video card is installed on your system: Pull up a command prompt and type the following: DEBUG [ENTER] DC000:00 [ENTER] DC000:70 [ENTER] Type 'quit' to exit. This will give (some)identifying information about the video adapter installed in the machine. Although the information will vary among manufacturers and models, it should present enough to figure out what's there. This trick works under DOS, 9x and NT / 2000 Cheers !!! e_ CREDIT: Lockergnome.com	Guest (0)
