Megaman isn't very good with computers, and now he needs help with a video card

Well, after the dreaded Recycler virus got on my computer, I managed to wipe it out with an antivirus but it still left some things borked. I had tried to reinstall windows and reinstall Internet Explorer, but still my browsers wouldn't work. In the end, I just had to reformat.

In the meantime, I need to get a lot of my old non-default drivers and things back. This computer is old as sin, and so I've had to put a lot of toys in it so that it can keep up with my crazy WoW addicted self. Among these is a video card. The default video card is all it can use for now, so everything looks all blocky and ugly. Where in the computer software can I peek around to find the model etc of the new video card I put in it so that I can find the driver for it on the innertubes?
