Kash,

Now if AGP 4x starts hogging the memory a whole bunch more with the newer graphics cards ( as alleged) this could explain the argument for faster memory bus.

This is true. Onboard geometry engines will need to be fed with vertex data. If the graphics card does not have texture memory onboard, that will cause additional pressure on the DRAM bus.
