Video Card Question
Can I use an AGP 4x card in a AGP 8x slot?

Basically I have THIS video card, and I want to put it in THIS motherboard.

Yep.!
Basically 8x stuff must be backward compatible with 4x stuff.

Basically I have that vid card already and I'm looking to purchase that mobo. Later on I will upgrade to a better vid card though.

Thanks for all the anwers they have been basically helpfull, and the sarcasms with the "basically" has basically funny as well.
