Will a 8x AGP run in a 2x Slot? Thx for your time

Yes. Don't expect the same results as if it where run in an 8x slot though.

One More Question

One More Question, What is the best nVidia card to get for under $150???? I Want it to be the best in all over performance, i hate when the graphics chop (im getting a new computer with 8x AGp too).

Check www.pricewatch.com - they are the best place to find hardware at a good price.

If the slot is AGP 2.0 compliant it will. If it's not then no. There were a very small number of 2.0 AGP 2x mobo's produced though... so I would be for taking Micro's advise...
AGP 3.0 is the 8X version enabling .8v cards...

good luck
