    HI,

    am about to buy a PCI-e GC that requires 2 * 6 pin power connectors.

    just checking my ps online and it states that it has 2 * 8 pin pci power ones.

    Check the GPU. They usually come with power adaptors. My 4850 for example came with a splitter to power it up from 4 pin plugs.

    thx

    i searched google for pics of my ps and it shows 6 pin even though it states 8 pin.
    easiest way is to check the pc tonight and order the gc then.

    thx again,

    k
