How can I identify this video card

I'm trying to identify a video card I've had around for a while that I thought was shot, but seems to be working fine when I plugged it in. Although pages are scrolling rather slow with it, it's booting fine and the display seems pretty good.
It's an ATI with a copyright of 2000 ATI technologies screened on the backside.
I was sure it was an 8500 DDR VIVO card, but Windows XP is detecting it as a 7200, and I was just wondering if there is any way to determine exactly which one it is, or should I believe what XP is detecting and just install drivers for the 7200?
 
Well I would assume windows is right, but you could always download something like Everest and check. Or see what your ATI control panel tells ya.
 
Thanks for the help malak, looks like Everest agrees with Windows on it being a 7200 🙁

Now I wonder where that dern 8500 went to!?
