Guys:

Just to preface I have already e-mailed EVGA's head Tech in germany as well as spoken with two of their US based CS Techs and have received conflicting information.

I have the 8800GT and installed it this weekend along with my new Corsair 750 W power supply (he he he!)

The 8800 GT comes with a supplemental power connector that is a six pin that attachs to Nvidia card and then has two 4 pin connectors that split from it for power to connect (like the ones for DVD player)

My questions:

1) The card fits perfectly into my PCI-E slot--do I even need the supplemental power plug?

2) If I do, and the Manual infers this(doesn't say it)

A)do I connect hot leads from power supply into both 4 pin connectors

B) or is the fact that they give you two 4 pin connectors split so it can act as a jumper between power supply and peripheral (CD burner/DVD player) for those without extra wire and connections?

C) Since both 4 pin connectors are "female" it made me wonder if it neede two power connections there

Any input appreciated,

Brave
