Nvidia 7600GT/AGP

nit.1762
I have a computer with AGP4x and I want to get Nvidia geforce 7600GT graphics card for it. The problem is that on some sites it is written that it supports AGP8x and some says it is for AGP 4x/8x. Does this mean that it will work in my AGP4x motherboard? Also, if it does work, will it be operating more slower ?.

dole
Hello I am trying to install the new intel driver (IEGD 8) of Fedora 6. Intel website allows to download rpm package (no tarball - why?) and the latter tells XFree86 is needed. Why, if I use X11? Am I doing the right thing? Is there an updated link to installing the driver? thanks.
