I'm considering buying an ATI Radeon 9800 pro video card and i was
just wondering if theres any difference in the perfomance of the card
if the AGP setting on my pc is AGPx4 instead of AGPx8. Also is there
anything else i need to know to make sure it runs ok on my pc?

The memory data bandwidth that the card can use on your motherboard is only
going to be half it's usual capability if used in an 8x system.

Which is a true statement but has no visible effect.
