That would be 4x. Most of the newest cards will run AGP2.0. There isnt any
discernable difference between 4x and 8x, even in the benchmarks...

You should be safe.

5 year old Dell computer, Nvidia GeForce 256 card is starting to fail
(gray
streaks that go across entire screen in same horizontal plane as any black
lines or text). Have swapped monitors, and the problem persists, so it's
probably the card.

My question is, can I buy a new graphics card with a higher AGP speed than
the original AGP2? Are the new cards backwards compatible as far as the
AGP
speed goes? If so, any recommendations?
