AGP 8x Card in a 2x Socket

[vaio-fx]

I have an oldish PC (Dell Dimension XPS T700R). It has a agp 2x socket (with a nVidia TNT2 M64) but I have a spare graphics card (which I have taken out of a newer pc), the problem is that it is a AGP 8x, its a Powercolor ATI Radeon 9550 256MB, so does anybody know if it will work? Or will the voltage difference destroy the card? I have tried to reseach this subject without much luck. Thanks in advance for any advice.

the card wont be destroyed however it wont function corectly , the effects could be anything from weird coloured display like tinted green or lines acros the screen to no image displayed at all

If it did physically fit in, it would ruin the card.
