what graphic card do i have

im not sure what graphic card i got with my G5, im pretty sure i upgraded to the 256mb card when i bought it. it was a $60 upgrade from the base model of the dual 1.8. is there a way to look up what card i have without opening the box? system profiler doesn't tell me
thanks
doug

System Profiler DOES tell you -- it's just not going to say "ATi Radeon 9600XT 256MB" or anything like that... instead, it'll give you a cryptic-looking string that describes the card, like "ATy,R2".

Open System Profiler, then copy and paste whatever appears in the "Graphics/Displays" section of it here and we'll decipher it for ya.

You also do realize you've posted this exact same thing before, and gotten a few replies, right?

I believe that is the Radeon 9600XT with 128MB of video RAM.
