Radeon 9800 Detected as a 9800 Pro in windows XP?

Just curious as to the new card I bought today.

I got a Radeon 9800 non pro but for some reason windows xp pro detects it as a 9800 pro. Any idea why? I haven't overclocked it or anything, and it detected it as a 9800 Pro under the 3.3 catalyst and the 3.8's, also under Omega's new "leaked" drivers.

Any help would be appreciated.
