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.
