How do you find out if you have a 3d accelerator?

Hi Joe,

Check your system documentation. Do not confuse a "3D Now" AMD processor for
a 3D card. Some pc's come with one, some need to have an after-market card
installed. If you bought a prebuilt system, please post back with the make
and model, I am sure we can give you some direction.

Hi Rick,

I bought a refurbished emachine T1125 which came with no
documentation. Is there a way to look it up on the
machine itself?

Thanks,

Zoe

Hi Zoe,

Try the Belarc Advisor (it's free) from http://www.belarc.com, it should
report back what you have. You can also try Emachine support here:
http://www.emachines.com/products/previous.html

Why do you ask about 3D acceleration anyhow? Are you encountering an error,
or contemplating a purchase?
