Does anyone have any experience with PCI-E graphics cards ?
I've purchased a ATI X800-GTO to put in my new AMD 64 box, but I'm confused by what it says on the box ... "Mother board must support specialized 12V connector for graphics cards" (Or words to that effect).
Now there is space on the graphics card for a 6 pin (2x3) socket but there is not one mounted there, so I'm guessing that I don't need to provide this particular version of the card with any additional power (other than what it can draw from the PCI-E connector).
Any thoughts ?
