How do you know that? There are 64-bit versions & 128-bit versions. There wasn't enough info given to determine which he has.

From looking at what's offered at Newegg, the 128MB cards are 64-bit & the 256MB cards are 128-bit.

Try googling the numbers on the video RAM chips. To find out who manufactured the card, search the FCC ID number

I've only used those 2 programs sparingly. Will they identify the video RAM interface?

Yes, Everest will identify the 64 or 128 bit video ram interface, and so is hwinfo32. My voodoo3 2000 16mb 128 bit is still a lot smoother when playing NFS hot pursuit compared to GF2 MX400 64Mb 64 bit.
