    Very quickly, can you stick a 4x AGP card into
    a 2x AGP slot?

    I hope the answer is it will just run slower, but
    anything is better than the ATI rage 3d Pro

    Yes i service antiques for friends :D

    Yes you _should_ be able to.

    An AGP x4 card or motherboard should support AGPx2 also. It's the general convention.

    An AGPx8 card or motherboard should support AGPx4 but probably not AGPx2.
