	For normal cards (VESA2.0) the width of the bus is probably 64-bit (but VESA
can't use more than 32-bit).  And the speed of the bus, is the speed of your
motherboard (unless you have an AGPx2 card).  AGPx2 cards run at 200MHz.  I
don't think the bus runs at 200MHz, but I might be wrong.  Also, the new ATI
cards due out in Oct/Nov will have a 128bit bus, also inaccesible from VESA.
