what about that belarc advisor.. thats free and it tells you your whole spec  

PoD (jonah)

I think that Belarc and similar progs work by identifying the drivers already installed PoD

haven't gotten yet.the drivers i got were for windows 2000 and i need drivers for windows 98 and windows xp.(direct links plizzz..)still for SiS325 2D/3D Accelerator

[lobo]

Go to http://download.sis.com/click on driver software,on the right you will see a button saying "Identify your product" click where it says "Click Here" this will then check out your PC and identify your chipset and give you the address of the driver

The Win 2000 drivers will work with XP

there is only one problem is i surf from a commercial place as in a cyber,so that idea can't work coz i dont have internet at home.i'll try the 2000 one in the meantime could you pliz check if you culd get a site with 98 drivers?

by the way i 4got to say thanx guyz   ;D4 everything i dint actually find a solution..okay wait i did i traced down the guyz who sold me the card and got a replacement...incase of any future problems culd you guyz recommend a site or a software,even if it requires you to go online, where a guy whose looking for drivers can go and get specs for his hardware(the soft shouldn't depend on the drivers already installed)..thanx a lot

The manufacturers site is always the best place to look first Freezy.
If you cant find anything on their site then the next best place is probably :

is it possible to remove the heat sink on these video card so that you csn check the chip

[FREEZY]

guyz we have another problem,a friend has got this video card that doesn't have drivers but i know its from ATI coz at the back of its written powered by ATi.i'll try give you a clear picture of how the card looks like(just in case one of u has ever seen it).
the board is red, it has three ports;the vga port,video out port and this other one i don't know its a white female port it has 24 holes and 4 smaler holes on the side..(hope that helps).then it has a big silver heat sink.
at the back as i said its written powered by ati,then on the left its written ATi Radeon.then the rest is 'rights' stuff.
so anyone out there know what this is??by the way is it possible to remove the heatsink so as to check the chip beneath it??

ok, i'll try those drivers.forgive my ignorance but that tv wonder is it inserted in the agp port coz my friend's is.and is it a video card coz my friend's has the monitor connector.as in db15(i think thats correct "db15")but anyway the vga connector?? ???then the white port is rectangular in shape.

Hi FREEZY
It may be worth while popping into the nearest PC shop and see if they can identify the ports for you, some connections are special to different cards and you need to know which is which to get the correct fittings
