agp data width vs video card

[jolt8me]

So i am looking to upgrade my video card. My pc is a dell dimesnion 8200. The agp is 4x which says
AGP connector data width (maximum)32 bits

Does this mean that it doesnt matter if the card i get is 64 or 128bit memory becuase it will go down to 32bits due to the connector?

No the memory on the card is 64 or 128bit, has nothing to do with the slot.

ok but im thinking if the agp port has a maximum bus size of 32 bits then no more could go across it. But i guess i am wrong about that.

The higher the bit memory on the card is better. It helps the operation to be faster transferring data between the memory and the GPU on the card itself.
