Most all AGP8X cards will work fine in an AGP4X slot, but performance will suffer from the slower bus speed.

Yes the 8x card is backwards compatible with the 4x slot. It should work fine.

relies upon on your BIOS. oftentimes particular. Occaisionally AGP slots may be proprietary, yet maximum mboards will step down the AGP card to the purposes of the on-board BIOS. pay interest to voltage required by making use of your card and make certain your mboard may be useful in the time of the mandatory slot.

Hi. The slots are identical, but one operates at twice the speed of a 4x.
