    Ther is a debug command run from Dos which will return display adapter details
    Type debug at a DOS prompt. A dash will appear. Type DC000:0010
    Now look at the right hand side of the screen. What do you see ? Specifics of your display adapter, thats what. Type q to quit.

    Tip of the day that, no question.
