Trouble identifying p.c. graphics card

Posted:
in Genius Bar edited January 2014
I had to re-install windows 2000 on a friends computer, and I can't seem to find out what the graphics card is so that I can install the correct driver.



The card is blue, with a blue heatsink with HOLTEK HT27C512-70 on the chip. Apparantly, they are the manufacturer of the chip, but not the card, so that hasn't helped me. I've tried using msinfo32 to no avail, as well as Belarc Advisor.



Any ideas to find out what card is installed?



thanks.

    Thanks, I've tried all the top Googles, that one in particular wouldn't let the computer boot up at all ... some blue screen memory dump error.



    It's probably cheaper to go out and by a wussy $30 card then trying to figure this piece of crap out.

    It looks like it's an S3-based card. Did you try finding generic S3 drivers?



    But yeah, you're right... not worth the hassle spending hours looking for a driver when a more common card can be had for a few $$$.
