Unfortunately it seems that evesham have removed the computer from their
website now but here is one similar. It is also hard to show you exactly what
I had because I customized it quite a lot:
http://www.evesham.com/products/conf...0-52ADB7FCD50C.

The name of the device is a Standard VGA Graphics Card.

Driver version number = 6.0.6000.16386
Driver date = 21/06/2006

Hope this helps.
