What and where do you use a PCI device?

PCI devices are cards that attach to your motherboard to add peripheral features -- things like ethernet cards, modems, soundcards, video cards, etc. are PCI. Each motherboard has usually four or five PCI slots for such things.

I've successfully installed or located the drivers for my modem, usb and ethernet controller. But when I look at my device manager the PCI device is still mark with a yellow "?". I've updated also my windows to sp4, I'm using windows 2000, but still the "?" mark is still there. Do you know, what can be the .inf file for this PCI device or the right driver name for this device?

Might be something belonging to motherboard, did you install motherboard drivers from CD/download?
You can run tools (or check registry) to get the PCI IDs (two 16bit numbers typically shown as set with 4 hexidecimal digits per id). One ID is the vendors (manufacturer) and the other is the device. Then use the vendor ID and device ID to identify the device. Can lookup IDs up at : http://www.pcidatabase.com/ There are also tools to get IDs on that site.
