Sure.

Almost all 4x cards are 2x backwards compatible except for super-high end ones like the 4ti.

Enjoy!

Yeah, you will be OK. IIRC, it has to do with the voltage of the slot and the voltage of the card. They need to be the same.

It'll work just fine, I have a GeForce2 MX400 (AGP 4x) running in my Sawtooth logicboard (AGP 2x) and never had any trouble.

If you want to know more about AGP and the modes/compatibilities/incompatibilities: http://www.planet3dnow.de/artikel/di...ng/index.shtml
