How can you tell for sure if a 5200 FX is 64-bit or 128-bit ?
 

Sometimes the box doesn't say so, and web vendors are even worse in

If it doesn't say, it's 64.

just by the by...I saw a box emblazoned "5200 ULTRA" yesterday at the Croydon
computer fair.

it was 65 quid.

seemed like a miss-pricing..?? coz I've seen the Creative ultras going for 131
at Komplett.

If its got 8 Memory chips,,, apparently its 128bit.

Not always...

My card is 256bit...8 chips. Number of chips is irrelevent.

It's the number of pipes, that's important.
