Noob PSU question:
 
I was gonna get a PSU with 3x6pin and 3x8pin for my new rig :

This for SLI and one day maybe 3way SLI.  
   
But now I see the new 9800GTX has 2x6pin and not 1x6pin and 1x8pin:

On the PSU site it says the 8 pin connectors are downward compatible but what does that mean?  
The 8 pins won't fit over the 6pins of the gtx looking at the pic's.  
There seems too much plastic in the way on the side to fit the 8pin with 2 pins unused.
 
Any idea's what to do or should I just get another PSU with 6x6pins?
I tought one with the 8pins option would be more futureproof?

You are right that the 8 pin won't fit.  Maybe they include a converter?  You PSU link doesn't work so I can't check.

Here is the correct link for the PS: http://thermaltakeusa.com/product/ [...] /w0133.asp
 
Looks like it has plenty of 6-pin PCIE connectors as far as I can see on the Newegg picture desc: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Show [...] wer+Supply

Here is the PSU link again, I hope it will work this time.

It indeed has 3 of each king (6pin and 8pin) but that means I can only run one card like the 9800GTX having two 6pin :-(
Unless I can find a way to convert the 8pin's to 6 pins.

Ok never mind, I found my answer after a lot of surfing...  
 
quote : "three 8-pin to 6-pin PCI Express cables" are included.

So this PSU has 6 x 6pins... I'm happy :-)
