A7N8X-X and AGP 4x

[Matthew S]

The A7N8X-X's specifications state that it supports AGP 8X. I have an
older AGP 4x videocard that I wish to use on this motherboard.

Can I use an AGP 4x video card on this motherboard? is it backward
compatible, or do I actually need to buy an 8X AGP video card?

You should be fine as the Mobo is backwards compatible to AGP 2x I
think.

check the voltage of the card , to ensure it is compatible.

A7N8X accepts 1.5v AGP cards only.

The videocard I intend to use is an ATI Radeon 7000 64MB DDR, 2x/4x AGP,

The specifications say it uses 1.5v at 4x. I will try it on the
motherboard when I get it and find out I guess.

Thanks for your help.

Yes you can use it.

I'm running my Leadtek Winfast A250 Le TD TI4200 with no problems.

I've even left the BIOS set to AGP8X.
