Dell laptop

I just received a Dell Latitude laptop (366mhz, model no: PPL) with the HD wiped. I formatted, installed Win98SE and everything went smoothly. The only problem that I have is that it has the standard VGA driver installed. I have no idea what video driver to install, or if it has a separate video card. There was no documentation with the laptop. What's the best way to check? Do I need to open the case?

thanks,

tranman

Go to Dell's website, they have a very comprhensive section of drivers there. Its well organized and they are easy to find.

Yes, but...

How do I know what driver I need if I don't know what video card is in the laptop? By the way, the model is not PPL, it is a Latitude CPi A366XT.
