Default AGP 8x/4x slot with 4x/2x video card compatibility

Any help appreciated.
I have a Soltek nForce2 board SL-75FRN-L. The AGP slot is 8x/4x. Will a Mad
Dog Prowler 440-SE 64 mb 4x/2x card work in it? Obviously my video needs are
not demanding. I hate to open the box and not have it work.

Reason I'm wary is the Soltek manual says:

"AGP slot on board supports 1.5 volt AGP 8x/4x only"

"to insert a 3.3 volt AGP 2x card into the AGP 4x slot will damage the
system chip"




I have used an ATI Radeo VE (32mb and has DVI) card in and it works OK
Radeon card is 4x/2x I'm pretty sure.


Thanks
Fens

It will be fine, GF4/MX440's all support 4X.
