hi there chaps, a simple question really but i dont have a clue!

I know how to get the stats on processor and hard drive and RAM, but don't
know how to find out what video/graphics card I have. Could anyone help me by
telling me how to go about finding this information out? thanks!

That and more:

That should do it for you. And just in case you want a second opinion...

1. Right click the My Computer icon on your Desktop, and select
Properties.
2. Click the Hardware tab.
3. Click the Device Manager button.
4. In the Device Manager window, find "Display adapters", which should
be near the top, and click the + sign to the left of it. There will be
the name of your video card (as known to Windows, at least, by the
driver used for it).

You can also use the "System Information" utility on your system. Click
Start, then Run, enter "msinfo32.exe" (without quotes), and click OK.
In the System Information window, go to Components > Display.

That should do it, but if you really want to use a third-party utility,
Everest is a very good and highly-regarded system info utility. The
"home edition" of Everest is free.
