    Will an 8X Video Card work properly in a 4X AGP Slot? I'm building a myth box (www.mythtv.com) and I want to make sure the video card is not too advanced for the pc. I'm using an Intel P3 866 Processor with 512 Megs Of PC133 RAM. Below is a link to the pc specs ...

    The Video Card im looking at is an ATI 9200 in which the link for that is below.

    Thanks For The Help

    It certainly will, but chances are (maybe not with a weak card like the 9200) it could throttle back some performance...

    Generally, a number of 8X cards do work in 4X AGP slots. However, they are limited to 4X.

    I realize it will be limited to 4X but I need a more advanced card for the video capturing part of the myth box

    What advanced features are you referring to?
    FB-DIMM are the real cause of global warming

    yeah, usually you would buy a dedicated capture card for something like that...
