Default 8X AGP in 1X AGP MOTHERBOARD ?

I've got an old BH6 v1.0. I want to upgrade my graphics card. Will an 8X AGP
graphics card (like GeForce 5700 Ultra) be OK in it? I think the BH6 is only
1X AGP. Thanks

The card or the mobo or both have to be able to adjust for the correct
voltage.

99.9% the chances are NO.

There is a votage issue, and a keying issue with the connector on the card.
