Newbie wondering about 4XAGP/8X compatibility

This is a true newbie question. Right now, I have a 32MB 4X AGP vid card. I've read that an 8X card will fit the slot with no probs, but I won't get the extra speed, on the 4X speed. If I get a 128MB 8X AGP card, will I still get the benefits of the extra MB's or is all that tied into the bus rate difference between 4X and 8X?
I've been playing Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and I'm just really sick and tired of the slow loading during the game and I'm looking for a way to speed it up. Thanks in advance.
 
4x/8x

As long as you buy a good enogh Gpu, the 4x should not make a differnce.
I have a 4x Ati9700, and it runs halo on high graphics!

So allthogh 8x is faster a good graphics card will make up the differnce.
