Has it got an FCC number on it at all, that sometimes helps to identify it, its possibly printed on the card itself  ???

The FCC number is usually written on a sticker placed on the back of the board. Either that or it is silkscreened directly onto the board.

Hope you find that number - I usually cannot find it on older items that I can't identify, which drives me crazy!

PC Pals team: What website would you recommend for looking up FCC's?

Well, no FCC number listed in those numbers!
What a surprise...

440 - could this relate to the Geforce 440 MX?

Try this Freezy, dont forget to set a restore point in case it messes up as we arent 100% certain which card you have  :(

um....isn't that the AGP chipset driver for motherboards (for supporting any AGP card) - they've just released version 4.40

Might be worth downloading and running Unknown Device identifier from
http://www.zhangduo.com/download.html (Its the last one on the page)

Worth mentioning that the software creates a desktop link to the huntersoft homepage when it runs - which can safely be deleted
hey promised the earth! Then delivered mud.
Technically it did meet the spec.
