    Is there anyway you can tell the bus width from the computer once it is on as manafacturer is not sure if radeon x1600 is 64 or 128 bus width?

    You can run 3Dmark05 and 3dmark06 and compare your scores with users who know they have 128-bit X1600's.

    Use Rivatuner. It will tell you all possible details about your GPU, including clock speeds, bus width, dedicated memory,...
