You must have the AGP version with two molex connectors. You need two for a steady supply of power, I think it gets damged very quickly with only one. (A little like my friends computer, hes running a 24 Pin motherboard on a 20 pin PSU, i dont know how it hasnt exploded yet :D)

it's not agp... it's PCI-E one, it's running fine with 1 ... hrmm, is it REALLY bad to have 1 plugged in ?

You need to have both molexes connected, otherwise the graphics card will be underpowered. And nVidia recommends using a seperate PSU line to each connector as well.

It's a graphics card. Do a google search.

What Power Plug are you talking about? Are you talking about inside or outside plug?

PS. I'm just trying to learn something new with graphic card with two power plug or whatever, thanks...
 
to the back left of the card, you can see a little black thing standing out, i think that's the pci-e powerconnector
 
Ah! Okay, I figure that what you guys were talking about that part. Okay, I was a little confused because I never seen like this one before. Well, Thanks Guy. I'm learning something new :)
