help for a new 4x g.card

It has been posted on this board many times that 8x cards will run in 4x
slots.

The AGP 2.0 spec downgrades to whatever slot you have. So any 8X card
wil still run in a 2.0 compliant motherboard with a 1x slot (provided
adequate power and room).

If for some reason a modern 8x card does not run in your board, it's due
to your MB manufacturer and their implementation of either the AGP spec,
a bridge chipset, or shitty manufacturing. However I have not actually
seen a board yet that won't run a 8x card other than for lack of voltage.

If you want cheap, then look to eBay, and pick up a GeForce 3,
or 4 card with 128MB. Those will blow away any GF MX card, but you
could buy a GF FX5700, or higher 8X AGP card, and it would work in
your 4X mainboard better than an AGP 4X card.
