Run dxdiag again and look at the display tab.  If that doesn't tell you what it is (because we may be having some problem), you can also look at the Device Manager.

Radeon drivers are universal and the choice (despite the long list of cards) will ultimately take you to one of two downloads.  There are two because the most recent Catalyst driver dropped support for some older cards -- that package supports all Radeon chipsets from 9500 up. 

I am fairly certain the other package supports everything below X-series, so if you can't figure out what you have, choose 9250 and it should work fine.
