[lug] AGP 8x question (hardware Q)

[D. Stimits]

Do the 8x AGP cards work in the older AGP slots for motherboards that 
are 4x AGP? I happen to have a 4x AGP, but it supports the Pro 50 spec 
(has extra slot length supported for higher power consumption, currently 
it uses an older GeForce 1 DDR card), and autodetect/switching of supply 
voltage depending on whether an AGP Pro or normal AGP card is inserted. 
I don't care if I have to run at AGP 2x speeds, but I don't want to buy 
a replacement for my failing vid card that won't even go in the slot.
