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.

Research your card and the specs for the motherboard of having a AGP 8x 1.5V the answer is, Yes. It will work.
The speed of an AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) card varies based on its version: 2x, 4x, or 8x. The "x" indicates the multiplier of the base speed of 66 MHz; therefore, a 2x AGP runs at 266 MB/s, a 4x AGP at 533 MB/s, and an 8x AGP at 1066 MB/s. These speeds represent the maximum data transfer rates between the graphics card and the motherboard. The higher the AGP version, the greater the bandwidth available for graphics data.
Any 4x or 8x AGP card.
Yes.
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.

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.
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.
Geforce 6800 supports AGP 8x and PCIe 1.0. It will not support 4x.
Bandwidth.
No, it has onboard LAN and 6 channel audio and supports 8x AGP but has no onboard video
