64bit/128bit difference

[JS]

1) There is a voltage difference between 4x and 8x, most cards support both
but it's not a given. So go with the product that say's in the
specifications or on the packaging that it supports both 4 and 8x.
2) There will be little or no perceived difference in performance with 2D
applications.

Hi ,

I want to buy one of the following Graphic cards :

1. PowerColor Radeon 9600PRO EZ , 256MB , 128bit bus interface , AGP
4x / 8x

2. Pine XFX GeForce 6200 , 256MB , 64bit bus interface , AGP 8x

First , can I use the 2nd card (with AGP 8x) , even though my motherboard
supports only max. of AGP 4x ?

Second , should I feel any difference in Windows XP applications (or Windows
XP environment itself) , if I buy 64bit card or 128bit ? (I am not playing
games.)

Thanks in advance ,
Lior .
