Do i have my drivers right?

Hey everybody. I'm new to the boards and have a hopefully quick question. I just got a Sapphire Radeon 9200 in the mail today and installed it. I think i might have my drivers wrong. Check out my Picture for 3dMark2001, my "Graphics Chipset" says "Generic VGA". The "Driver Name" looks right and says "Radeon 9200". Shouldnt my Graphics Chipset read "Sapphire Radeon 9200 Atlantis 128" or something? How can I change it/install it? I don't think it came with my CD, but i could reinstall and double check.Could anybody help me out here?

I have a 1333 mhz Althon. Windows 98SE, 256mb 2100 DDR, I used Sapphire's Drivers from the CD that came with my vid card. I am running an ALi chipset though I am not sure on the model #. What could be wrong? Everything seems to work right except that seems very odd, and I have never had "Generic VGA" as my Graphics chipset before. Need any more info? I would really like to know what is up with this.

is that 2001 or 2003?
2001: NOT very good, i got a geforce 440se and a celeron 1.2 ghz and i can still top that.
2003:VERY good, im pretty sure most ti 4200 get lower than that.
