how can i find out what graphics cards etc. i have?

Q: i am missing 2 drivers, where can i download drivers securely?

A: hi there this is a popular question and the best method to discover what graphics card you have is to download the excellent utility called "gpu-z" from http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/ after downloading gpu-z you simply run this (no need to install) and if you are running vista click continue when the uac appears,and then you will see a box with loads of specifications listed these will include the graphic cards model and make,core and memory clock speeds,memory bandwidth,pixel and shader model,driver version and much more using this information you can then download the appropriate driver for your card,however theres a good chance that it will be either NVIDIA : http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us A.T.I : http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html each of these sites are the manufactuers official driver downloads,so they are 100% safe to download,and they are easy to use,simply follow the guide and it will take you to the link to download your driver finally a few tips for driver downloading and installing 1) dont use download managers when downloading your graphic cards drivers( or any other drivers at that) 2) disable any anti-virus software when installing your graphic card drivers,this can affect the smoooth installation of your driver 3)if a "driver signing" prompt appears just click continue,there are actually only a few graphic cards that have passed microsofts driver signing tests,however other cards are perfectly safe to use,the best way to work is if you have used the manufactuer before then allways click continue,if you havent then dont contiune i hope this helps,however any problems let me know good luck mate !
