I was thinking of the hd4670,
@9800gt
even if it is 128bit & ddr2?
last question, xD
can my mobo utilize the VC's ddr2,3,gddr3,5? (well I've heard it's useless even if it is gddr5 if my mobo cannot utilize it, kindly enlighten me :D)

Thank you for the info.

this odd 128bit 9800gt is a downgrade of the original and yes, i am doubting of what will be it's performance.(the 9800gt benchmarks are for sure 256bit)
