The sources of information for that would be:
 - the manual for your computer;
 - the website of the manufacturer if you can determine a brand and
   model for the beast;
 - lspci;
 - open the box and look at the labels on the card;
 - if you also have Windows (or any other OS) on the same machine, have
   a look at the other OS's configuration.
