Every device that connects to your personal computer has a chipset. Knowing which one is used in a particular device is most often necessary to replace equipment, as well as to find out the main points of its operation.

Step 1
In order to find out which chipset is installed in your video card, use the search for the specification of your device model on the Internet. It is best to find out such information on the official websites of the manufacturer. You can find out your video adapter model through the "Device Manager", which is located on the "Hardware" tab in the properties of the "My Computer" menu item.
Step 2
Also, carefully read the documentation for the device. If you want to replace your video card, make sure that this step is possible, since in some cases the adapter may be built into the motherboard, which does not provide for the installation of additional devices. This is mainly the case for laptop computers.
Step 3
In order to find out the chipset of your motherboard, proceed in the same way: find out the model name and read the description on the manufacturer's website, or find the information you are interested in in the device documentation. Also pay attention to special software that displays information about your computer and system, for example, the Everest program.
Step 4
Just download it from the developer's official website, install, run and wait while the system collects data about your computer. Then select the desired menu - software or hardware, and then view the element-by-element data regarding the chipset of each device (other information may be available here).
Step 5
To find out the chipset of RAM modules, look at the information on the bar. To do this, turn off your computer, disconnect it from the power source and open the system unit cover. Find the RAM, unfasten its fasteners and carefully read the information on the board.
