The taping is required for any 8x agp card to work in any 2x/4x agp capable
mac with adc connectors. These pins were unused in the 2x/4x agp spec but
brought into use for the 8x spec - mea

It is because Apple wired those pins to something before the AGP spec
was finalised for AGP Pro iirc, so causes electrical issues.

The problem is related to using normal, non-ADC x8 AGP cards in x2 &
x4 AGP ADC G4 Macs. Since the card you're citing, the Dual-DVI 9600
RV351, 128 MB VRAM is a x8 card from a G5
