You won't be missing a lot with only 2x - a few 3d marks maybe .... but they change like the wind anyway.
1. yes you can run it (but only in 2X, naturally) and normally you do not need to deal with any jumpers or such stuff
2. there will be little performance difference in the vast majority of apps and games (it is the older chipset that may actually keep you vidcard back rather than AGP 2X)

Re: AGP question
My motherboard supports AGP 2x, When I tried to install a AGP 4x vedio card I got error message "This device cannot find any free input/output range (I/O) resources to use (code 12). If you want to use this device, you must disable another device that is using the resources this device needs.
I can find no conflicts in device manager. I removed sound card no help also eithernet card no help amd an old dial-up modem card no help.
Old video was Geforce2 pro with 64 ddr
New card is a Geforce 5200fx with 256 ddr
Any ideas on what the conflict might be?

Re: Re: AGP question
This is not necessarilly a problem with your Windows configuration but rather the BIOS itself. A lot of BIOSes allow you to select which IRQs are available for PnP or which ones you would like to configure yourself.
Take a look in your BIOS and see if you see anything to that effect. I won't be able to tell you exactly where to look because i don't know which kind of BIOS your motherboard has.
Hope that helps.

Re: Re: Re: AGP question
I checked Bios these are what I found that might do with video.
VGA Boot From ...................AGP
PCI/VGA Pallet Snoop..........Disabled
Assign IRQ for VGA..............Enabled
Concurent PCI/Host............Disabled
AGP Aperture size...............128m
VGA......................................On
IRQ 3..................(com2)...............Primary
IRQ 4..................(com1)...............Primary
IRQ 5..................(LPT2)................Primary
IRQ 6..................(Floppy Disk)......Primary
IRQ 7..................(LPT1)................Primary
IRQ 8..................(RTC Alarm)........Disabled
IRQ 9..................(IRQ 2 Redir)......Secondary
IRQ 10................(Reserved).........Secondary
IRQ 11................(Reserved).........Secondary
IRQ 12................(PS/2 Mouse).....Primary
IRQ 13................(Coprocessor)....Disabled
IRQ 14................(Hard Disk).........Primary
IRQ 15................(Reserved).........Disabled

Re: Re: AGP question
Guess I have a memory conflict not a hardware conflict.
Video uses memory locations
D0000000 - DFFFFFFF
F0000000 - F0FFFFFF
VIA tech CPU to AGP controller Uses
000A0000 - 000BFFFF
D8000000 - E7FFFFFF
E8000000 - EFFFFFFF
F0000000 - F1FFFFFF
Any way to change any of these?

Re: Re: Re: AGP question
You should also have shared memory with your card, AGP controller and PCI bus in A0000-BFFFF, which is the standard VGA memory area.
I see your BIOS has an option "VGA: on", does that mean you have also an onboard graphics chip? If you do, try disabling it.
No, they're supposed to use the same memory locations, as it is an AGP card - AGP controller needs that too. Same thing if you had a PCI video card.
