Let me know how this turns out, I've had me eye on one, but they're a little too expensive for me atm.

I love my x800. Only problem I've found with it is that I sometimes get visual artifacts if I enable Overdrive (which is basically just overclocking) so I leave it off.

If the description says "AGP 8X" will it work in a AGP4x slot? Right now I have a 9700 Pro.

Any AGP8x should work in an AGP4x slot. They're reverse compatible.

The 9700 is AGP 8x also.

Yes I know the 9700 was 8x, but from the descriptions on Newegg I was a little confused, some say 8X and some 4X/8x. Thanks.
