New graphics card

I have heard that putting an 8x into an earlier slot could cause the card to explode or something similar
 
I've been reading up about this and it seems 8x cards only work 100% with 8x slots or 4x slots of the same voltage, does anyone know how I can find out my mobo voltage and my psu voltage as well, because cpu-z doesnt provide me with this.

I may end up forgetting the idea of getting a GT6600 because although iv seen ppl have that card in a computer with the same mobo and spec as mine i dont think theres much you can do if it happens a to break because you are running a card on a slot its (possibly) not designed for.

I may end up getting the 7800GS atomic rooster linked, would that be much less powerful than a 6600GT?:)
 
Does anyone hav any links to 6600gt AGP cards for sale, I have only managed to find one site selling a gt6600 AGP card, i would be eternally grateful and would treat the person who does this as a living god ,possibly.
