A pci scanning tool.

Not sure if this will also detect PCI bridges and such.. hmm might be wrong tool for the job..

Maybe I need chipset scanning tool like

Chipset-Z or something =D

Bye for now,

PCI bridges are normally resolved by in-box drivers.
When a "chipset driver" is provided by the user installing
such, it just puts an entry in Device Manager as a text
string, and the driver is likely to be in-box. As
long as bridges are standards compliant and use all
the right registers, they should be resolved at
startup. The OS needs this capability, as otherwise it
would not be able to scan the busses on the other side
for "New Hardware".
