Yes. Several times.

And this is a thought I had entertained. So that would fry it, would it? Is that extra socket for powering the AGP slot specifically? (i.e. Is it possible I've damaged something in addition to my AGP card, if that's the case?)

If I have fried the card, it's a good thing I had planned on replacing it anyway.

I think this is the last time I try to do things on my own. People like me should pay technicians for a reason...
