I need to upgrade my sisters AGP computer so it can play newer games (OK, Sims3). Its old, but I really only need a GPU can runs on AGP.

I plan on getting a 4650, even if it is bottlenecked a bit. My question is this: The AGP slot is only 2x/4x. Now, most AGP cards seem to be labeled 4x/8x; I assume this means they can run at either speed, just at a reduced bandwith, correct? So can I run a 4x/8x AGP card on a 2x/4x slot?
Yes, I know, she should probably junk the thing...not an option right now...
