Since i upgraded this machine to Vista (late 2020) i had one problem with the GPU, the drivers would install twice or duplicate at some point and cause problems, like the Internet Options menu not letting me use Hardware acceleration, only software, and the performance of videos not being great, i didnt expect too much from a 2008 low end laptop but as i saw more and more videos about vista and realizing that with my hardware y should have a better performance i started suspecting, in late 2021 i realized that the CPU had EM64T support, meaning it was a 64 bit CPU and not a 32bit as me and my mother (previous owner) thought, so i installed the 64 bit version of Vista and the problem disappeared (or i tought) because the Internet Options menu let me use Hardware acceleration, but after some time, it again swithched to software mode with no way to change it back, and here i am.
I have to say that the "Bus PCI, dispositivo 2 funcion 0" is the one you see when you enter device manager, and Bus PCI, dispositivo 2, funcion 1" only appears if you enable hidden devices.
This picture is from Aida64 (prooving that is not a device manager error)

Dispositivo: Device

Adaptadores de pantalla: "Screen adapters" (GPU)
Graficos acelerados: Accelerated Graphics
Usar procesamiento por sofware en lugar de procesamiento por hardware: use software acceleration instead of hardware acceleration
