166MHz "VData" SDRAM is definitely not good. Something like Quadro 4 NVS 100 has 64-bit 200 MHz DDR from major brands. Still better than GeForce 2 MX PCI though.

I'd trust looking up the specs of the RAM chips more as specs of cards were subject to continuous change.
Method is the same as with your previous card bus width questions:
- read the name of the chips off (seller) photograph > here: VDS6616A4A-6
- look up datasheet of said chip and see what width it is > here: 1M x 16Bit x 4 Banks
- count total number of chips on card, multiply by width of one chip > here: 16b x 8 = 128b
Try it yourself on your next card.
yeah my goal was to find a PCI geforce 2 mx to be more correct with timeline. But at least this geforce 4 will perform similar.
I'm still ok for this build with 166mhz sdram at 128 bit, but i didnt want 64bit, bandwitdh will be too low.
I have a geforce 4 440mx agp at 64bit at 200mhz ddr and the result was acceptable for this build, so its ok. but the agp port is taken by the voodoo 3 8mb.
QUESTIONS:
I will add some cooling metal block on memory and try to overclock it from 166mhz to 200mhz. is it very risky ?
Maybe try to overclock the core from 250mhz to 270mhz too ?
Thanks for answer
