right click on desktop
select "properties"
select settings"
press "Advanced" botton on the right bottom
select "adapter" tab... you will see all the VGA card's specs.

easiest way possible...

(only applicable to Microsoft Windows.)

Click Start > Run

type: dxdiag in the run/command box and hit enter.

it should come up with the DirectX diagnostic tool, and your computer/laptop's everything will be listed there.
