Will Radeon 9700 *REQUIRE* a AGP8X mobo?

[Sharpio]

Or will it be ok on a AGP4X board?

No, but as you would expect, it will only operate in AGP 4X mode. Which in reality isn't much different than 8X.

The 9700 will work in an AGP 4X board. The actual benefit of AGP 8X will not be available for quite some time.
