What is a 4x agp slot?
Fast answer: Place for video card in an older PC. Long answer: 4x refers to the data transfer rate of the Accelerated Graphics Port, a specialized card slot for video cards. The standard data rate of AGP is 266 MB/s, a 4x slot is 1066 MB/s (compared to todays cards at 8,000) Hello, a 4x AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) gives you the ability to connect 4x (LCD)(CRT) screens to your computer. for dual monitor. So for instance you can have 4 computer screen on with different things going on each screen. Hope that helped Regards -CT- IT engineer
Is 4x AGP 32-bit slot properly accept 128-bit AGP card?
What's 4 x 32?
Can an 8x card be used in a 4x slot?
For the most part AGP 8x Cards WILL NOT work with a AGP 4x slot. The motherboard will only supply 1.5 volts of power to the card leaving the other half with no power and will not work properly.
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).
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.
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 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. == == == == == ==
Will a PCI Express video card work in a 4x AGP slot?
No. They are totally different on an electrical, physical, and protocol level. Attempting to insert a PCI-E card into an AGP slot, or vice versa, will likely damage both the motherboard and the card.
Sis730 chipset what video cards will work?
Older cards such as the geforce2 and the riva tnt2 should work. Any card that will slot into an AGP slot should work, just make sure that it can run in 4x mode (Modern day AGP video cards run in 8x mode but some will also run in 4x mode)
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.
