I have acquire a Dell Inspirion 4100 made in about 2001. The Win2K install was corrupted, so I wiped it off the HD and installed LInux.
Things work well, but the video seems generic. Is there a way to determine which video card is installed without opening the case?
TIA

Hi John, If you go to Dell's website and do a driver search based on the model of the workstation you should be able to determine which video cards shipped with the system (many times Dell will use one or more card for a given model). That at least would narrow down your search. If you have the service tag (usually on a sticker located either on the back or side of the system case) you can call Dell and have them pull up the system build and possibly get the exact model installed. Hope this helps. Jesse
