AGP data bus width ?

isn't it supposed to be 64-bit ?
does it depend on the card or on the Mobo ?
i don't know much about this
could anyone explain this to me
this was reading from Everest

then why cards are 64-bit and more ?
these are my card specs and put in mind that it's low

Can you tell me where did you find that System slot properties menu in the first pic? I want to compare even though I have PCI-E.

Oh and btw, lol

that's why i'm asking what is the point of making the card 64-bit and the slot is only 32-bit ?
or this is a different thing ?

They are different.

The AGP bus width is 32 Bit, where as the memory bus can be higher. Im not too familiar with it, so i cant get into too much more detail.

The AGP bus has a data bandwidth of 32bit, thats between the board and card. If the card has 64-128 or 256 bit memory, thats the bandwidth the memory on the card can work with from the GPU on the video card

Yes, that's correct, shadyi that's the answer to your question. Nice work StrangleHold
 
Yea its like the higher bit memory on the card the bigger the doorway the memory has to pass data to and from the GPU on the video card.
