PCIDatabase.com is website to help you identify unknown PCI devices without using any special software.

To find out what a PCI Device is, go to Device Manager, right click on the Unknown Device and choose Properties.
Go to the “Details” Tab and choose “Hardware ID’s” from the dropdown box. You should see something like this.
