Theur supposed to be.... unfortunately most of the FX5200's that have actually hit the market seem to be cut down from nVidia's official specs.
A few of the non-Pro 5600's have been released at slighly lower clockspeed then officially speced at as well :(
At least newer 5600Ultra's are clocked higher then the initial ones.

I don´t think all of them are 128 bits, cos in the Albatron case, for example, there are two versions: P(128 bits) and EP (64 bits).
And, in the Asus case: Which is the difference between 9520TD and the 9520 Magic T?
Thanks anyway...

i think only some of the 64MB versions have a 64 bit bus, due to the layout of the memory.
All the 128MB ones have 128bit so far.

Again,
Which is the difference between 9520TD and the 9520 Magic T?
Is the XFX a 128 bits part? Anyone owned one of these?

Sorry if I bother, I just don´t wanna buy garbage...

I'm not sure about those particular cards you listed, but there are definitely some FX5200s out there with 64bit DDR memory, vs 128bit DDR memory even 128mb versions. Prime example is Gainward FX PowerPack Pro/660 128mb (Lite) -64bit. Then there is the Gainward FX PowerPack Pro/660 128mb golden sample -128bit. With Gainward, there is a easy way to distinguish the difference since most FX5200s they carry that has a 64bit bus has a heatsink over the GPU vs a fan/heatsink on the 128bit versions.

I owned the 128MB XFX FX5200 and yes it's 128bit, it didn't last long in my pc however because like all FX5200's it was so damn slow. It was replaced with MSI Geforce4 Ti4200 128mb 8X VIVO etc and the difference in speed is amazing and the MSI has even got better 2D quality which was unexpected. :)
