I found an old ATI video card I am using for my moms XP SP2 machine however I don't know what drivers from ATI this card needs to run properly. All I have is that it's a PCI video card and the model # according to Windows...

Have you tried windowsupdate.com? Many times, and often with older hardware windows update will provide a driver.

I had to put in a Voodoo3 PCI in a rig the other day and windows update had a driver all ready and waiting.

Actually, now that I think of it, it looks like the drivers are already installed... I mean if the drivers weren't installed when wouldn't it just be blank or have some generic name for the video adapter?

Likely the card is just so old that its capabilities are not beyond what you are used to seeing with the regular windows VGA driver, but that of course is just an assumption.
 
yeah the drivers are already installed...windows xp has quite a comprehensive library of good drivers for old hardware. Though it looks like that card is REALLY old...not sure how useful it's gonna be. Can it even drive 32-bit color at 1024x768 or is 16-bit as high as it goes?
