can I install 4x/8x video card in a 4x slot? they say you can but the performance will be 4x..|||You sure can. A 4x/8x card can work in either a 4x or 8x AGP slot. It's true that if you have a 4x slot that it will run at 4x instead of 8x, but hey, that's the best your system can do.
AGP 4x
A 32-bit channel operating at 66 MHz quad pumped to an effective 266 MHz resulting in a maximum data rate of 1066 MB/s (1 GB/s); 1.5 V signaling;
AGP 8x
A 32-bit channel operating at 66 MHz, strobing eight times per clock, delivering an effective 533 MHz resulting in a maximum data rate of 2133 MB/s (2 GB/s); 0.8 V signaling.
