Well, the whole issue about DDR rams in the GeForce and G450 is to
accomodate 32 bit rendering. The DDR ram has the same latency like
normal rams (6 ns), but the doubled data rate means that there is no
difference in spitting out 32 bit values over 16 bit. That's the only
thing that makes it happen...
