hi friends from toms hardware, i have 2 question that i know u will answer me (like u did in the past).
a) the hd 2900xt uses 2 pci exp power conectors, but have not a power suply with pci express conectors, so i see that in the accesories of the gecube card come with 2 power converter (molex to pci exp). in the past i used a x1800xt and that card had a converter too, with one molex to power a pci express. in this moment i have a 8800gts 320mb and it uses an converter, but requires two molex to power only one pci express, so the question is: I need 2 molex to power the converters to pci express (like the x1800xt) or 4 molex (like the 8800gts, but since it requires 2 pci express it will be 2x2=4) for a hd 2900xt? (the asus model had the converters like the gecube. the converters of the gecube are like the ones from the x1800xt (1 to 1) but the asus model“s are like the 8800 (2 to 1) so thats confusing) and also my question is confusing
b) if i have an 8800gts 320mb what cpu will be the minimun to avoid a cpu bootleneck? (i have an atlhon 3800+ single core) and for the hd 2900xt?
thank u beforehand, i know my questions are long, but i know i will help me
