Confused about pci-e.

[hudson]

Ok I really have missed a lot since my last upgrade and now I'm in a lonely room on my own trying to guess what the hell it all means. Excuse my simple minded efforts but can some on eplease answer the following.

Gainward GeForce 7900GT 512MB DDR3 PCIE DUAL DVI G/SAMPLE - The power connector into this card - is it a special connector - not the normal molex off a psu.

This then leads me to the next question which may get my post moved.

I can buy converters for the connecters on my current psu, but should i just plum for a new psu. - Antec TPII- 480P Blue GB??

Washington eh, just down the road from me, im in Philadelphia, Houghton-Le-Spring way.

Is that houghton fatfield or proper hougton durham. Work just round the corner in durham... small world lol....


Anyway back to point, I dont have 2 spare molex, well at leats i dont think i have. Does it have to be 2 seperate leads on their own (as in not using a splitter).

if its the choice between getting away with and ordering a new psu what would you do? I can always flog my old psu on MM.

I've looked at the antec true power ones, it lists that they have 4 sata connecters, am i to assume that it will also have the regular amount of molex ones awell (normally 4).

You meam shinny rah.

Is the hyper reliable, I need a psu, not an investment into the stocks and shares of the company
