I've been looking around for about an hour and havent found my answer.. I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me - if I have an AGPx4 slot on my motherboard and I buy a AGPx8 video card, will it
a) not run at all
b) only run at 4x
c) run at 8x but may crash or be unstable
d) anythign else ??
I have an Abit Kr7A-Raid M/b (4x AGP) and am looking at getting something like a Radeon ALL-IN-WONDER 9700 PRO (which supports 8x AGP).
I can upgrade my motherboard, but I'd prefer not to if I don't have to.
If the performance only runs at say 4x how much power am i losing? significantly less or only slightly?
THanks
