Typically an AGP 8x card will work in an AGP 4x slot. I have had,
though, a motherboard (PC Chips) that would not take an AGP 8x card,
even those designed to step down to AGP 4x.

At one point, I would have said that compatibility would be determined
by the card. If it can step down to 4x, it will work; if not, it won't.
My experience with that craptastic PC Chips board, though, has proven
me wrong.

I would talk to Asus about the video card, and also your motherboard's
manufacturer. Be careful to read their language: If they quickly rattle
of that it "should" work, you should probably asks for someone that can
make an informed answer rather than just guess.

I forgot that I have a Radeon X1300 that worked both in 8x and 4x mode! :)
