Identifying my card ?

I purchased a dimension 4700 from dell alittle over a year ago. On my order confrimation email, it indicates that i requested a 128MB PCI ExpressTM x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) ATI RadeonTM X300 SE.  Well upon inspection of the graphics card that was shipped with my system, I am noticing that there is no ATI logo's or part numbers on the card. I looked over the ATI web site and found a section with instructions on how to identify an ATI card and I'm pretty sure this is not one. I'm sure that Dell buy there pats in bulk and that those parts might be different in appearance from the ones produced for individual retail sale. That said, do the ATI cards that ship with Dell PC's contain ATI logos and part numbers on them ?

the listed adapters are: RADEON X300SERIES.
 
 Is there a way for me to verify the model with a visual inspection ?

Open the case, remove the card and see if there are any labels on the front or back. Tell us what you see.

Thanks for your rsponse, here  is what is on the card....   a white sticker with a barcode and the number " CN-0F3988-69702-543-1531"  ,   A white sticker with the numbers  " E-G012-04-2366 (B) " and numbers " D 33A27 "  it also says " 2004 " on that sticker, and a white sticker with a barcode that says  "REV A01 ", a white sticker with a barcode that says " 531D276797 ". The two chips on my card both say " Samsung        510 " and " K4D551638F-TC50 " Also on one side of the board there is a space with the words printed on it " PLACE PERMENENT P/N, BARCODE. & S/N PROUDUCT LABEL HERE ", but there is no label/stickers there. Anything else i can tell you about it ?

It is a Dell/Radeon X300 SE. It matches what I saw in the lab. It is a low end PCIe video card.
