hi guysm I'm planning on getting a 8800gtx to fire up with my new core 2 duo e6700.

Question is, I've seen some pictures of the 8800gtx and it has two power inputs a 3 pin one and a 4 pin, my current 400w power supply only has the old style 4pin molex pins so wont fit. Do I need convertors so that I can supply power to both ports or is it one or the other??

(I know the hack to get an addiditional power supply working by bridging the motherboard power molex. so will have to power supplys feeding power, just till I get cash sorted for a new psu)

thanks in advance
