One quasi exception to this rule is that most AGP Macintosh cards have the ADC connector which the Sawtooth didn't have. There's this extra connector tab on the card that has no home, therefore the ADC connector will not work on those cards in non ADC compatible machines. However, you can still use the VGA connector without issues.
I have heard of one particular model ATI card this isn't compatible with anything below 4x, but that has more to do with a design defect than anything else.

Unfortunately the answer is no.. Each AGPx has it's own slot design that corresponds to those cards..
Actually I think you can. I put a 4x AGP card in a 1x(maybe it was 2x) slot and it worked fine. Granted, that was a PC and this is a mac. But I thought AGP _was_ backward-compatible, although it'll run slower in a slower slot.
