Although on paper an AGP 8x slot is faster than AGP 4x you won't notice the
difference in real life performance.
For example: once both my brother and I owned an AGP 8x video card (FYI: ATi
9800XT).
The AGP slot on his motherboard was only 4x so the card ran @ AGP 4x.
On my motherboard I could ran the card @ AGP 8x.
After doing some benches I got a slightly higher score than him (leaving out
the other hardware differences between his and mine config).
Nowadays AGP is already an old technology, PCI-Express 16x is the new video
card slot. The first motherboards have already arrived with 2 PCI-E 16x
slots (instead of 2x8x) for a SLI config.
But this is waaaay off-topic.
