the drivers should be on your dell resource cd and the one for your computer should have a check next to it

Right Click My Computer
Click Properties
Click Hardware
Click Device Manager
Click Display Adapter
 
The video card type "should" be in there if you are running XP2 and the card has been out long enough for Windows to know about ts existance.

You can also go to www.guru3d.com and download SiSoft Sandra 2005. This is a free program and it will tell you more about your system and its componenets then you can ever find anywhere else.

Well what system do you have?  Open up your case and see if you have a sound card attached to a PCI slot.  If not then its probably integrated audio.

You probably have the integrated graphics if there is no physical cards in your PCIE slot (the top slot with a clip).
