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).


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specifically designed to take a graphics card (or video card as they're often called).In recent years AGP has been replaced by the PCI-express standard (or PCI-e as they are often referred to) and thus AGP is generally considered an obsolete format.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 does 8X mean when you are purchasing a computer?

Good question. It can mean a variety of things. It could be referring to the speed of a CD or DVD drive, meaning how much faster than the original industry standard the drive spins. Examples might be 16X read, 6X rewrite, 8X write. It can also in the same manner refer to an AGP slots speed (4X AGP, 8X AGP) if it appears as X8, it's likely referring to the number of channels of the PCIe slots. the most common PCIe slots are X1, X8 and X16. Those are the most common uses, but without an actual context, I cannot say what YOUR 8X means. For instance, if it's an ad that says "costs 8X less than a MAC" then obviously the meaning is different.


What are AGP slots used for?

AGP slots were used as a faster interface for a graphics card prior to the creation of PCI-E.

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.
