    Exclamation 9800pro extra power connecter?

    Hi, I'm going to sort out and order the rest of my pc tonight. As a final question, I was going to get a radeon 9800 pro to work on a Gigabyte GA-7S748-l SKT with an antec true power 330w psu(already bought). I will only run a cd rw and one hardrive, will i need an extra connecter from the psu to the 9800 pro and if so what will it look like. ANy help ASAP would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot,John

    All i have seen use the 4 pin molex connection (Same one as plugs into the HD / CDROM ect...).
    Ive never seen a floopy drive type one, a quick google dont throw any up either, im not sure if anyone here has seen one.

    It plugs into one of the original molex connectors from the power supply,you only need to use it either to stretch the cable to your G/Card or in some cases split the power line so effectively doubles the power outputs on one single molex connector.
