Found the following in the web for Windows2000,

Video card identification using DEBUG via command prompt...

You can run the following without opening the case to get an idea of the manufacturer and make:

Click Start,
Click Run...,
Type CMD,
Click OK,
In the command prompt,
Type DEBUG and press Enter,

A single dash will appear at which point,
Type DC000:10 and then press Enter, (DC000:50 may also work for newer cards).

You may need to type D at the second dash and press Enter for more of the information to appear.


Click Q to exit...

Heey Todd, im sorry to say, but Voodoo files is not the best site for drivers. If you look at the site, you'll notice the weird filenames and weird spammie stuff. Thier drivers are mostly out-dated. For old drivers it sure is the best site, but the site's quality has degrated since 3dfx has gone bankrupt. The best site for 3dfx drivers (up to date at least) is http://3dfxzone.it/ .

(just wanted to say this for 3dfx users like me, i don't want to argue which site is best)

 

[Shervie2]

Looks like Todd A posted that over 2yrs ago.

 

[baskapteijn]

Jups, you're right!

Just noticed it wasn't put in the list, yet it's a very useful tool:

• Driver Cleaner Professional Edition (free)

Run it (ideally in safe mode) after uninstalling video drivers to completely remove all remnants of drivers. Also works with chipset and soundcard drivers (nForce, ATI, Creative, Aureal, Realtek, Turtle Beach, etc.)

Also, here's a few others if anyone is interested:

• X800/X850 Pro VIVO to XT PE Bios Mod

• extensive list of ATI video BIOSes

 

[jankerson]

Added Tweak guides for ATI and Nvidia Drivers.
