It's a hand-me-down that came without a monitor; the friend who upgraded didn't need to upgrade her monitor. Apparently the monitor it was installed/configured for supports higher refresh rates than the one I plugged into it once it got here.
Device Manager (or whatever its name is) lists both a card and a monitor. It can sanity-check what kind of card I claim it has by querying the card's ROM, but AFAIK there's no way for the box to know what kind of monitor is attached other than having a human tell it. So I'm guessing I'd have to go into the Device Manager, manually delete the existing monitor and add a new one, and hope it doesn't ask me for a CD I don't have. (If I do that, I'll check for the presence of C:\Windows\Options\Cabs first or wait for a copy of a Win98 installation CD.)
