Do all Radeon 8500LE (64MB and 128MB) Cards have 128bit buses?

[Kojak]

I have located a 64MB and 128MB ATI 8500 LE cards (not Sapphires), however the salesman cannot tell if they are 128 bit buses. I have read that some of the Sapphires have 64 bit buses and I'm curious if the 8500 LE ATI built cards are possibly the same.

I believe those are the cards that end with SE.

An 8500 LE is an 8500 LE is an 8500 LE.

An 8500 LE is basically and 8500 clocked 25MHz slower in both departments.

Memory bandwidth is 128-bit wide.

Some 9100's (which are basically rebadged 8500LE's) only have a 64 bit bus. I haven't heard of any actual 8500 LE's have only a 64 bit bus though.

You can tell a 64bit 8500LE/9100 by how many memory chips it has.

128bit 8500LE ? has 4 double-sided memory chips picture

64bit 8500LE ? has 2 double-sided memory chips.picture See the 2 memory chips missing above the GPU heatsinkfan.

AFAIK ?. only Sapphire made 64bit 8500LE/9100?s. So other brands of these cards should be ok.
