What am i losing when i have and 8x agp card with only a 4x slot?
Bandwidth.
What is the difference between a 4x agp slot and an 8x agp slot why should cards designed and built as 8x cards not be used in 4x slots and vice versa?
All 8x AGP slots are backwards-compatible with 4x cards, so there is no reason you couldn't use a 4x card, except that it's slower. Most 8x cards should work in a 4x slot as well, but they won't be able to run at their full potential, and a few may have trouble running at a lower speed (NVIDIA cards should be fine).
Is there any difference between Agp8x card on a agp4x slot agp4x card on a agp4x slot and agp4x card on agp8x slot?
If you have an Agpx8 compatible motherboard you will be able to utilize an agpx8 video card if your mother board only goes to 4x then the 8x graphics card will automatically use the 4x setting 8x meaning more information/data being sent is always better .Agpx4 card will work on x8 slot
Will an agp 4x video card work on a motherboard with an agp 8x slot even though the 8x slot is much larger the card is a ati all in wonder 9000 pro the board is an asus a7n8x-e.?
No it won't work!
Will an 8x video card work on your 4x mobo?
8x video card will work on motherboard supporting only 4x speed,but will be limited to 4x mod.
Is a dell dimension 4400 motherboard compatible with 8x AGP?
The dimension 4550 motherboard supports up to 4x AGP according to spec. However, you can use an 8x AGP card as the specification is backwards compatible. It won't take advantage of 8x throughput but it should work just fine emulating 4x.
Will a 1x AGP video card work in an 8x AGP slot?
AnswerYes.Added:Sometimes! Not all AGP 1x or 2x video cards will have the same connection type as 4x or 8x cards, some older cards will not physically fit in the slot for modern motherboards.
What is the purpose of an AGP slot?
AGP (accelerated graphics port) slots are special slots on the motherboard specifically designed to take a graphics card (or video card as they're often called).In recent years AGP has been replaced by the PCI-express standard (or PCI-e as they are often referred to) and thus AGP is generally considered an obsolete format. Even so, AGP hardware is still available, but often at an increased cost & with decreased performance.AGP slots came in a few different speeds. The most common of which was 4X and 8X slots. 8X slots could utilize higher performance 8X cards. A 4X slot is limited to only 4X cards. However, many 8X cards have the capability to be used in a 4X slot, this will usually be denoted in the specifications of the card.
What is the difference between will agp 8x ddr1 card and agp 8x ddr2 card?
The type of memory used by the graphics card. DDR1 is slower, DDR2 is faster. They both plug into the same slot in your computer.

Will an 8x AGP video card work in a 4x AGP slot?
It will work, if it is compatible with the signalling voltage on the motherboard (1.5v for AGP 1x, 2x and 4x), but it will only work at up to the 4x that your motherboard is capable of. You may need to change your BIOS settings for AGP= 4x to obtain maximum performance from your motherboard and graphics card. AGP 8x cards run at 0.8v but some may permit 1.5v 4x compatibility. Those folks experiencing problems with 8x cards in 4x slots might consider the possibility of power supply issues. It's not unusual to see newer cards requiring 300-350 watt power supplies with specific voltages requiring up to 18 amps. Many old Dells and others have only 250 watt supplies, and the new dual gizmo gazillion megahertz screamers take a lot more juice than the factory-supplied cards. Some 8x cards are designed to be able to clock down to 4x, some are not. Many times it will say whether or not this is possible right on the box. In all respects the motherboard or 8x card should not be damaged by attempting this, the worst that will happen is it wont work. == == == == == ==
