Where to put?
Hi
I have just bought a new video card and I need more power and must connect a cable to somewhere but I dont know?
I have a Dell Dimension 8200 with Geforce 6600 GT.

As I recall, my D8200 didn't have a spare molex connector but my video card did come with a y-splitter so I pulled the power connector to my hard drive, attached it to the splitter and then attached one end back on the hard drive and the other end to the video card. If your card didn't come with a splitter then you can get one for a few dollars at your local computer store. My card said to use the hard drive. Some folks recommend using the power connector from an optical drive.
