The 8X represents that the card card process 8 times the number of transfers per clock compared to the original 1x cards. So, it directly relates to the speed through the AGP bus. 8 times the bus speed.

Will an AGP 8x 1.5V only motherboard run a 9800xt .8V AGP 8x 1.5V AGP 4x at top speed?

It may run, but with some problems. Performance may degrades. The card won't be damaged, though. If you already have the card, give it a try and run a bench mark. Mula I have a computer with an AGP card 1.0, that supports 1x/2x. Can I run higher cards that run at 8x or 4x, such as the Rosewell Radeon 9200SE. Right now I have a Voodoo3 3000. Yes it will, and it will run at 8x. The 1.5V only on the mother board means (not the old 3.3v AGP1 format) 8x AGP is only found with a .8v signal and therefor the fact that your main board supports 8xAGP means it can signal at .8v The 9800's spec's mean it can run at 8x AGP in any 8x agp main board and will run at 4x AGP in a main board that has a max AGP speed of 4x.


Can you upgrade from a AGP 4x to AGP 8x?

Sure, but your motherboard would have to support the 8x speed. You should check your bios for that information, or any manuals you received when you purchased the computer. Check the manufacturer's spec's on their website - that's another good way to find out. If it your computer supports 8x AGP, then upgrade it.

There are no AGP graphics card officially supported by Aero. You may be able to buy the very last generation of AGP 16x card and be able to run it, however I doubt an 8x will run it.
