How Many PIPELINES Do I Have?

I have an unmodified Radeon 9500 (256-bit as identified by RivaTuner 12.2) and was wanting to know FOR CERTAIN how many pipelines are active.

When I open 3DMark03->Details->Expand All-> Display Device states: "Textures In Single Pass 8" Does this mean I have 8 pipelines activated? If not, what is a SURE-FIRE way to identify my active pipelines? Thanks!
 
Run some benchmarks and compare that to other people with the same system setup and video card. If somehow you got an 8 pipeline 9500, that would be interesting to find out why.
 
Try comparing the fill rate with other 9500's and modded 9500's. The fill rate should be independant of your processor.
