6800 = X4 or X8 ?

AGP X4 and X8 , any diference ?

I have an four x4 AGP slot, the 6800 and the x800s says that it needs X8 , does this really matter ?

The short answer is no.

You are fine with 4x AGP and there will be no huge performance differance over an 8x.

So you mean, I can buy that 6800 on Ebay and stick it in my MOBO, plug it into my 350 W suply and I'll be fine ??

Specs : Pentium 4 2.4
512 RAM

If its a decent Power supply you should be fine.

What does the AGP X4 "only 1.5 V " means ?
