[j3rMs]

i am a com noob so i was wondering...

i want to buy a 8x agp graphics card however my motherboard only supports 4x agp...
will my graphics card still be able to run properly?
will i be able to run it at all?
i have read something to do with the voltage of my motherbard..
what is this all about?


PLz help me.. thx alot

some 8x apg cards are backwards compatible but it would say on the box wiether it will work in a 4x agp slot or not.
