help identifying my video card - Looking for video drivers

[sohoit]

Hi,
I have a PCI express graphics card but cant seem to find drivers anywhere.

There are a few stickers on the card which read:
CougarLP-10-M04
HP PN: 5189-0459
MS-V110B0801065182
CT:P 9036 0D P1 VL 1G0

There is also a Model number which appears on front and back. this is V110.
there is also a N1996 number printed on the card.

Anyone any ideas what drivers I need for this card - My OS is XP Pro.

Regards

That is a HP branded Radeon HD 2400 Pro. You should be able to use the standard AMD/ATI drivers.

Can you plug it in (perhaps even as a secondary card), and look up how Windows identifies the card?
HP PN: 5189-0459 looks like a Hewlett Packard part number.
What kind of plugs/ports does it have on the outside end?

Guillemot made graphics cards with the "Cougar" name, but that was in the Win95/98/NT4 timeframe (upto 1999), long before PCI-E was born (2003).

Edit: Never mind, zing269 seems to have found a match.

Can someone tell me where I can purchase one of these cards? If not, does anyone have a suitable idea for a replacement?
Thanks

If zing269 is correct:

That card is pretty dated. There are better choices. What do you need it for?

I know there are much better cards out there, but I need to know which one I could replace this with and not have to change the PSU. It also needs to be low profile.

I would look at something like this, you mentioned the card was PCIe but is that 1 or 16. Does your mb support 2.0?

Pretty much any car on this list will be better than the HD 2400 Pro:

Be sure it comes with a low profile bracket. For example:

And make sure you have the right power plugs on your PSU. And the right connectors for your monitor.
