I have this unidentified PCI-VGA in Windows 95 device manager. It still appears even after I Installed my S3 Virge DX and Voodoo2 drivers. Windows detected as if I have 2 PCI VGA.

Any ideas on how to detect what device is this actually?

It's identified as a PCI card. Your first step should be running PCI list or another program that lists every PCI device and then look what is unnacounted for.

I think you can look up PID/VID by clicking on the question mark entry and going to resources or details

That is what I would try first....

depends on the windows version. can't recall which version was the first to offer that option. it sure beat searching the registry for the VEN/DEV ID

Right to repair is fundamental. You own it, you're allowed to fix it.

XP, on 2000 you can use the 3rd party "PCI-Z" but no idea about what to use on other OSes...

CrystalCPUID for example has function called "PCI Device Information". It works in Windows 9x just fine.
Also WCPUID shows "PCI Device List".
