I have a G4 MDD logicboard, and i noticed an extra ADC power socket behind the AGP slot along with in front of it. What video card used this port? I checked all the G4 video cards i could find, and nothing used that socket.

those cards look to have the 8x AGP pro standard used in the G5's. I don't think they physically fit the AGP 4 standard in that specific MDD model. Due to the last few connectors on those cards having more than 3 pins which would not slot into another ADC connector. i have an 8x agp card and no, they don't fit that g4 at all

I don't believe any video card used the rear ADC power connector-- that would seem to indicate that some video card would have existed with two ADC connectors on it, and at least according to the ADC wikipost, no such dual-ADC card exists.
