256MB is the size of the memory that is on the graphic card.
256bits? that's the data bus width between your graphic card processor (called GPU). That means, for every clock cycle, 256 bits of data is moved from your memory to your GPU to be executed.
Its ok, if you don't understands it. it simply indicate how fast the card transfer data between the memory and the graphic processor. The faster, the better it is, because your graphic processor don't need to wait around for data to be transfere from the graphic card memory to it.
256bits means better performance as compared to 128bits. That's what it means in terms of performance. The more bits, the faster the performance.
In on board graphics, there is no bit size. If you means the MB, the how many MB of memory it use can be determine from the manual. Those are portion of your system memory, being reserve for graphics
bits size, as i've mention above, that is how fast the GPU can transfer data from the graphic card memory. So, when comes to on board graphic, it uses your system memory, so how fast it can transfer data is depends on your system memory.
Typical system memory has data bus width of 64 bits. System memory are much slower than graphic card memory, for many complicated reasons.

whilst the notice "upto" is mentioned it ability shared photograph RAM. the main nicely known reminiscence Motherboard RAM is allotted/marked upto 891 RAM which incorporate the actual RAM sixteen or 32 or sixty 4 or 128mb put in with the onboard photos chipset. It additionally ability that your motherboard makes use of ONBOARD ATI Radeon photos chip, in many situations noted as IGP. There probably isnt a separate photograph card put in on the pc too. Do you used a Branded OEM pc or only an assembled style? For branded OEM pc this is not consumer-friendly to comprehend the motherboard producer, yet for assembled style there's a emblem call imprinted on the motherboard that could supply actual data on the board style and specs on the producer's website. you additionally can improve with a photos card later in case you have necessary PCI convey or AGP card slot.

256MB indicates the video card's dedicated video memory, but 256 bit would signify a 256bit high security encryption; most likely to be third-party software.

256Mb is the amount of video RAM, but 256 bit? Doesn't mean anything to me. Make sure that the type of bus is suitable for your PC (AGP,PCI,PCI-X) and you should be fine.

256 bit is the wide of the bus
