Are you sure though the PCI cards have a 128bit memory interface? AFAIK
PCI cards always have the name "9200" and not "9200SE" even if in fact
sometimes they only have the 64bit interface (you can see it easily, if
they have only 4 (tsop) memory chips in total, then they have a 64bit
memory interface).


Umm you can make a 128bit interface by just moving it twice rather than
once. The PCI bus doesn't support 128bit wide datatransfers anyway so
you just write twice. Another reason why AGP rules


Ahem. Roland was not referring to the system-to-graphics-card interface,
but the card's own memory interface. Apart from this, your first
statement is just plain wrong. Some graphics card basics may not hurt...
