*AHEM*
A problem with drivers can cause the hardware to malfunction or not be detected... there is nothing wrong with trying to fix a \"hardware\" problem using \"software\". I assume that Shadownamja\'s card supports hardware acceleration...

I assume you are running windows. These are the steps to  go for Windows 2000,  but they should work with other versions as  well. The last steps should be rather similiar.

For the processor & system ram click on start->settings->control  panel->system
For the gfx card & it\'s ram click on start->settings->control  panel->display->settings->advanced->adapter

Why do it that hard?

Start->Run
Enter dxdiag and press enter
Press Save all information

Open the new file
Paste it here
