Yes, providing your power supply has enough juice for this
significant upgrade, it is technically workable.
and the speed of the card is 1ghz..
will it split in 2 if i put it in the slot yes or no..

Hmmmm. Odd question, but given the two alternatives I'd
have to choose "no".

Can you elaborate on what you are asking?

If what you mean is, will running an 8X card in a 4X slot be
much of a performance loss, the answer is no, 4X is almost
as fast and since your system is old enough to have only 4X
slot, it is most likely the rest of the system will be the
bottleneck, not the video card or the AGP slot speed.

Thanks for the information :)

This is usenet, bulletin board code doesn't work.
 
The 8X video card is fully backward compatible with a 4X motherboard AGP
slot. It will work fine. I have the same card in my 4X AGP slot.
