AGP question

[Tyralak]

Can a video card that supports AGP 8x (Such as an NVIDIA Gforce FX 5500) be used on a motherboard that only has AGP 4x support?

Yes, and the card will "back up" to the 4x mode.

Yes, and the card will "back up" to the 4x mode.

Thanks.

Yes, usually. If your MB/card will negotiated voltage/current.
That's backward compatibility feature.
