And what would the video-memory bus-width be? 128b? 256b? See the
problem?

The sheer width is an issue as is the different types of RAM.

But the changing width isn't: put on two DIMM sockets and if the
customer wants to use one that's fine.

However seeing how closely video chip and memory toe together it is
better to place them together on a board.. which is suspiciously like
what we have now.

I also have the feeling that the mainstream video is not making much
progress fill-rate wise; you cannot buy a entry level card and have it
outperform a Ti4200 - which is different from the situation with CPUs.

That said a GPU module would look suspiciously like a video card...
