Gecube 9800 non-pro 128MB. 128 bit or 256 bit?

[Andrew Dickson]

I just got this card, and nowhere does it state the width of the
memory bus. I was sure that all 9800 cards were 256 bit, except the
SE. Is this correct?

Also, anyone have any experience with this card? The performance seems
to be a bit low, but I was going to put this down to my XP1800+ and
any driver remnants left over from my GF4200. Also, the card uses the
reference cooling design with no ram sinks or cooling on the back of
the PCB. It gets extremely hot, even when just running windows (stock
cooling, no overclock). Any thoughts?

It's 128 megs ram with 256 bit data transfer bus. i believe most cards have
256 bit bus except the craptacular 5800 ?

And any non-pro will be slower.

If it were a 9800 pro 128meg card then the 256 meg version performance will
be marginally faster in lox-mid resolution and FSAA/AF on. But bit faster
in 1280x1024+ resolution with 4xFSAA/16XAF since the 256 megs ram would be
utilized for games like UT2003/2004 HL2 and Doom3.
