Hi all. I'm about to purchase a Gigabyte 7600GT PCI-E card for my system. I'm just a bit worried what effect my motherboard will have on the cards performance. I have a Gigabyte 8VT880P combo board and the PCI-E slot is only 4x (as opposed to the regular 16x). Is this going to make a big difference in gaming performance? Am I wasting my money by buying this card without also upgrading my mobo?
Thanks for any opinions in advance.

8VT880P combo
450w power supply
80GB WD SATA
512mb Kingston DDR2 (adding another 512 very soon)
Geforce 5500GT
