Agp 8x Grafikkarte In 4x Slot
Hi there everyone
I've got a Compaq Presario 6000 computer (Athlon XP 2100+, 512MB DDR, 80GB HD...) and I've decided to replace its now less-than-appropriate video card (a Geforce2 MX 200, 64MB VRAM) with a different one.
However, I know that my motherboard has an AGP 4x slot while most graphics cards these days run on AGP 8x. Pretty soon I found out that the cards are backwards compatible but I'm seeing mixed results posted by people using this configuration. Therefore I thought before buying anything that I'd post here and ask, would it be alright for me to put an AGP 8x card (Geforce FX 5700, Radeon 9600 or Geforce 6200) into an AGP 4x slot? Would it cause any major problems or performance degradation?
Also as a side note which of the cards listed above would be best for me (with a 128MB VRAM configuration)?. I know for a fact that's all I need because I'm not a hardcore gamer, just a casual one with a few strategy and simulation games which run a bit sluggish on my current card.
All help is appreciated.
Will a Nvidia 6200 that is a 8x AGP work for a 4x agp slot? I know some cards that are 8x will work on both, but the state that. If it only states 8x will they also work on a 4x slot? Please a little help.

- I'm planning to buy an AGP 8x graphics card but I'm not sure yet if it's going to function well. It has an AGP 4x slot. Processor: Pentium 4 2GHz.
- Old 4x cards are frequently higher voltage whereas the newer 8x ones are lower voltage. Hence pop goes the 8x card. If you are lucky the AGP socket cutouts will prevent you doing this. It is not as bad or clear cut as this, there are x8 AGP cards that will run in x4 slots, eg ATI Radeon 9600, maybe they can adjust the higher voltage to suit???
