1.Get to an MS-DOS Prompt: If you are running a version
of Windows, you need to
either open an MS-DOS prompt or shut Windows
down to MS-DOS mode.
2.Enter the "DEBUG" Program: From the DOS prompt, type
"debug" and then
{Enter}. The system will display a single
dash ("-").
3.Display the Video Card BIOS Area: Type the following,
exactly (and nothing
else, or you risk doing something to your
system that you really don't want to):
"d c000:0010". This will display the contents
of the beginning part of the video BIOS
ROM. The system will display a bunch of hexadecimal
digits across most of the
screen. On the left-hand side you will see
text letters that correspond to these codes.
For most video cards, you will see the name
of the manufacturer and information about
the video chipset type and version number.
4.Scroll Down If Necessary: On some systems you may need
to scroll down further
to find the information. Do this by typing
just "d" and then {Enter}, one or more times.
More information will display on the screen.
5.Exit "DEBUG": Press "q" and then {Enter} to quit the
debug program.
