No. Not all 8x agp cards will work in 4x slot. Check the documentation you got with the card. There are different cards that use the fx5200 chip made by different manufacturers. Those that are backwards compatible seem to be priced about 1.5 times the 8X only cards. There is nothing you can do in bios to alter your AGP slot. A compatible card is required.

I just put a GeForce FX5200 in my computer and it only has an AGP 4X slot. Works great for what I want.

All 8x cards work in all 4x boards as long as the card is AGP 3.0 compliant, which I believe is the case for current 8x cards.
Please post a link to any 8x card that is 8x only.
