Here's the lowendmac.com page on your PowerBook. I have no idea how to decipher that stuff...

(You have a ATI Mobility Radeon 9600, in case you care).

If you have the Apple Hardware Test CD and you start up from it, somewhere it tells you in English what graphics processor you have (you don't have to run the hardware tests). Wish Apple would add that info to Apple System Profiler.

ASP does have this info. Go to PCI/AGP cards (though there is no card, just a graphics chip) and it shows you what graphics chip you have with the marketing name.
