You must have direct-x installed\nIf you do, go to your start menu and click run\ntype 'dxdiag' and hit enter\nin the dialog box that shows up, go under video and see what graphics card is listed.\nThen you can google for the drivers\n\nIf this doesnt work,\nRight click on my computer and select properties\nunder hardware, select device manager\nunder video cards, look for the name and google for drivers\n\nIf that too doesnt work,\nopen up your cpu and look at the graphics card itself. It will definetely have the manufacturers name printed on it\nthen google for drivers\n\nPeace.

That is a really old obsolete machine. At the time of the 226 MHz processor, there were several manufacturers producing machines that used these components. Also, someone could easily just buy parts and put one together with these components. I doubt you will get the answer you are looking for with the information you provided.\n\nIf you had the serial number from the motherboard, then you could probably figure it out. Also if you have the make of all the components then you have a chance too. Why do you want this machine?  It is a dinosaur, not worth even $50.

You should be able to access the card properties through control panel.  There you should be given a choice of acceleration methods.  If this does not have hardware acceleration listed as an option, it is probably either a low end 3d or 2d card.  Most 3d cards have an embedded heat sink that you can see when you look at it.  For ease of explaining, please visit my site below, and go to the computer talk section where you can see what a typical 3d card looks like.  If this is an older card, your game probably won't play right anyway.  Most games now require anywhere from 16-64 megabyte video, and a few newer ones as much as 128 megabyte.  For the best prices should you decide to replace the card please visit http://www.geeks.com and http://www.pricewatch.com  Both are good sources. \nYou can also go to Start> Programs> Accessories> System Tools> System Information to see what is listed as the manufacture and other info on your video card.  Hope this helps.

I would look at the latest versions of the Nvidia or ATI graphics card range ie ATI Radeon 9800 or Nvidia 6800 or 7600 ( I dont think they do an AGP version of the 7800 or 7900 although I could be wrong ) Worth while checking out though. Look on www.tomshardware.com and www.firingsquad.com for reviews etc\n\nI hope this helps

i wouldn't throw away the card, yet.\neven though it may not be listed on the official Vista compatibility list, cards like a 9550 are.\nchances ATI won't (eventually) release a driver that gives a X800 full access to the vista features :-o :-/\nnaaaa, they'll find a way.

A very very good notebook guide can be downloaded here:\nhttp://www.download.com/3000-2056-10225869.html\n\nAlthough you just need it for internet use and word processing, many websites employ heavy graphics.. you need fairly good specs anyway. Pentium III or Celeron (CPU clock - 1 GHz) and RAM of 512MB would do. \n\nAcer and Dell have good offerings on their websites. I found some on Amazon.com as well.\n\nDont forget to test for dead spot on LCD screens, check for Harddisk errors, and so on.\n\nPS:\nI found one here:\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00080QGD2/sr=1-1/qid=1138758887

i would go on eBay and see other notebooks that are near the hardware profile that you have. that will give you a good basis.

Well in my opinion, a 256 mb graphics card is a better than  a 128 mb graphics card. The consumption of power will be negligibly high and it woul affect only in minutes.\nBut to tell you, i did not actually know that we can put additional graphics card in a laptop is it.. or are you talking abt inbuilt memories in different models?\nwell the thing to take care is that you should have at least 512 mb or ram or higher for optimum and problem free performance..\nhave fun
