Hello! AGP 8x cards work with the G4, but you'll need to undertake 1 step, as is described here:
http://themacelite.wikidot.com/pins-3-and-11 The reason being that Apple used pins 3 and 11 on the AGP 4x connector to supply power for ADC monitors. The AGP 8x standard, however, uses those pins. The net result is that a AGP 4x Mac (like your G4) won't boot with an AGP 8x card insert in the AGP slot. Besides the above mentioned: as long as the graphics card you're using has a Mac ROM, no further actions need to be undertaken to make it work in your G4.
