I already bought a graphics card, it has a 64bit memory interface. I didn't found better card, those PCI cars with 128bit memory interface are for 5v PCi :(

@utri007 You're better off getting a Radeon HD licence from A-EON and a 5xxx or 6xxx series board with a PCI interface. Warp3D drivers are just around the corner for them and they blow away the R200 series cards in terms of 2D/3D performance.

On the Sam440ep itx model current lack of DMA support forGraphics cards in the 33mhz pci slot makes it a very slow option.

Then you can get very good performance with the right combination. A PCI to PCIe adapter and a PCIE Radeon HD version are better than the PCI HD5450. I have a HD5670 with DDR5 memory with my adapter in my Sam440ep-flex 800mhz and the combination is fast. The last update of Intuition.lib increased the performance of some things by about 9%. The Radeon HD6670 with DDR5 memory in my Sam460ex is even faster so I am keeping my eyes open for another one for my Sam440ep-flex.
