I've seen a G5 AGP Pro 8x card converted to work in a non pro G4 4x slot
- not a pretty sight. But afaik the adc in the mdd has two connections in
the agp slot - thus the taping of pins 3 and 11 on 8x cards which I believe
in the mac slot supply power for the adc connection. In between the 4x agp
mdd and the 8x agp G5 the layout of the slot was converted to agp pro design
to keep adc - apple should have gone for dvi/vga at that point (had to
eventually) but they have always liked to have their proprietary video
connectors going way back...
