here's the thing, what voxus is saying is 100% correct. for gaming higher bandwith is what you want. i made the mistake of buying a geforce 4mx 4000 a LONG time ago when 128 bit was being standardized (the mx 4000 was 64 bit) the difference in gaming is astounding, between 2 geforce 4's the mx4000 and the ti series 128 bit the fps increase was large enough to make games playable vs non playable, that still holds true with todays graphics cards, so if you want to go for a decent gaming card find a 256 bit card of the same caliber as the one you want not the 128 bit version as you're going to be robbing yourself of performance.
