    hi there

    there are many ways to find the make and model of your graphics card in your p.c,the easiest and simplest is to right click the desktop and select properties>settings>advanced>adapter>you will then see a brief descriptionb of your graphics card including name,memory,ramdac and bios info

    another method is to go to start>run>type dxdiag>press enter,then go to the display tab and your graphics card will be displayed there

    finally you can right click the desktop again and you should have a option such as "catylyst control center" or "nvidia control center",select these and the control centers for these cards will give you the info your need

    and this one is probally the bet of all of them,download gpu-z from http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/SysInfo/GPU-Z... run this from the download(no installation required) and a display window will appear with loads of intersting info on it...a top utility

    good luck mate !

    Click on Start-->Run

    Or if you have Vista Start-->All Programs-->Accessories-->Run

    Then enter "dxdiag" into it. Click OK. When the DirectX Diagnostic Tool comes up, click on the Display tab.

    And there you have it =)
