Ok so I have a client of mine -- gave me his PC to clean it up and reinstall windows. He went out and bought Vista to replace the XP that it came with. I installed and all is well but for the life of me I cannot figure out what onboard video card has.
The system is an older Via ester 1500mhz and it has built in AGP video, audio, lan etc. I installed the Via 4 in 1 hyperion drivers, but no matter what Vista sees the video card as a standard VGA and it's dog slow.
I looked all over the mobo and I can't find any reference to a chip name.. nor even a name of the board. I think it might be a Via Epia board but again it's got nothing else. Is there some sort of utility that anyone could suggest which queries the video card? Any other ideas?
PS: wish I could just slap in a cheap card, but the mobo does not have a PCIe or AGP slot at all. It has what I think are 2 older PCI slots only. Guess worse comes to worse look for a used PCI card.
