Just downloaded and ran it. It's showing 64-bit and a bandwith of 6.3 GB/s. So, is this conclusive proof that it's 64-bit afterall?

Since i heard that a new version of the praised omega drivers was launched, i decided to give it another go. As expected, it didn't work:it installed, but after a reboot there was still no driver installed. However, i managed to install it using the add new hardware wizard(looks like the x1700 was supported afterall). Ran 3dmark05 and got 3184 points. So much for the highly-praised omega drivers... They seem to be worst than stock.

yeah that sounds pretty conclusive to me.

Just as i suspected. So i was tricked after all

I think the issue with your 64bit/128bit is because of the ringbus interface being 128bit and the mem interface being only 64bit. lot of OEMs market the ringbus width so it looks better,it's just how you look at it I guess.

The PB site clearly states that the MEM interface should be 128-bit.
