Swapping Cards. Extra 2 wire plug?

[Sam71N]

I am trying to change Graphic Cards between my Home and my new Computer I have at work, because of The Radeon Cards not working well with the software I use at work, an older Cad Cam software.


My Work computer is a Dell Vostro 410 with a Q6700 Quad Core Proccesor and a 256MB ATI Radeon HD 3650 Graphic Card

My Home PC is a HP HP m8407c with a Q6600 Quad Core Processor which has the NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT 256mb

I thought this should be pretty cut and dried.

The problem is the GeForce has an extra 2 wire plug that goes to the Mother Board on the HP. On the Mother Board it is connect to "PDIF Out2".

I am unable to find the same 2 pin connection on the Dells mother board.
I sure could use some help guys.


Best Regards
Sam

You can leave that out. It is for sound transmission if using HDMI.
If you change from ATI to Nvidia I recommend cleaning the drivers with Driver Cleaner.
