Does any one have this problem or is it just me.

The fact that you see radeon 8500 does not mean that you have a radeon 8500. It just means that Apple has not yet specific drivers for the 9200, so OS X is just using radeon 8500 drivers for your video card.

If you really want to see which video card you have, use Apple System Profiler.

Yes, the G4 iBooks all have Radeon 9200s. However, the Radeon 9200 is based on the Radeon 8500 so there shouldn't be much of a difference. If it's using the same drivers that sounds fine.
