    the pc that i've been stuck on at the moment is a gp6-400 pentium II.
    complete pos but hey what can u do.

    any way the graphics are 256 colours and its unbareable.

    the graphics card is just in as a vga compliant card.
    does any 1 know what the base card for this system would be?

    Go to a dos prompt.
    Type debug and hit enter
    Type dc000:010 and hit enter

    Over on the right you will see the exact make and model of your gfx card.
    Type q to quit debug.
    Go download the correct drivers.

    Voila.
