FX5500, 128-bit or 64-bit?

I bought an AOpen FX5500 128MB TV DVI card from Newegg (not yet installed).
User reviews for this card are very good, but this is one of the few FX5500
cards listed at Newegg that is *not* specifically identified as 128-bit. It
doesn't say it's 64-bit either, nor does anything on the box say it's one or
the other. Neither can I find any information about it on the AOpen site.
Since a list of Nvidia specs I just saw indicates that the FX5500 may be
either 64- or 128-bit, I'm curious to know which it is. Are there any
software or other means of finding this out?

To the best of my knowledge, this is a 128-bit card and very similar to
the 5700LE. Annecdotal evidence from online reviews suggests no
abnormal bus size either. The price difference between the 128 and
256MB card is fairly small, the 256MB card is specifically 128-bit, and
it's within the price range of similar models that are 128-bit.

Thanks! That seems reasonable to me.
