MOBO says 4X Video card says 8X

Putting together a new system. MOBO is a Shuttle AK32V V3.1 and it says it
has a 32 bit AGP slot which supports 4X AGP device. I have a XFX GEFORCE
fx
AGP8X video card. Can I install it on this MOBO and if so, does that mean
I
can only run at 4X, even though the vid card is rated 8X?
Seems like a waste of money on this vid card if so. Any thoughts?

There's no speed difference running at 4X vs 8X.

Thanx - that make me feel better. I was thinking maybe I chose the wrong
video card for my MOBO, but I guess, because you say there's no diff
running
at 4X vs 8X I should be okay. Thanx again for the quick response
Augustus,
I'm off to the workbench.

When I first installed my 9800 Pro 128Mb in my Soltek NForce2 board, it was
stuck in AGP4X mode no matter what I did. Stayed that way until recently
when I upgraded to a 120Gig HDD and decided to do a clean install.
Benchmarks before and after were literally identical with the same Catalyst
versions.
