HIS X1650 Dualink DVI 256MB 128bit DDR2

I was given a graphics card to put in a PC I am using and I need to find out some info on it so I can get drivers for WInXP. The only thing on the card is "HIS X1650 Dualink DVI 256MB 128bit DDR2". WinXP will start but only in a basic video mode and the graphics properties says no drivers are installed. Any info on chipset it is using or where to turn for more info woud be appreciated. Thanks

Hmm, that's an odd one. I assume it's an ATI X1650, a very old card. http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/other/Pages/x1650-specifications.aspx You'll need legacy drivers for that.
Luckily a quick google search brought me to the right place. Here you are sir!

WOW, that is just what I needed. I got the info and legacy software, installed the correct drivers and WinXP seems to be happy now. Thank you so very much.
