4x vs 8x AGP:

I got a card that can run at 8x agp and 4x agp and since my motherboard only does 4x and under it runs at 4x instead. But really am I missing out on that much because I keep reading on some other places that there really isnt that much of a performance difference.

It sounds like you need to download Opera... it will let your motherboard work at 8x AGP plus it uses way less RAM and other system resources while browsing the internet at faster speeds!!
