I want to install my new Geforce 6800 when I get my new case & PSU , but i have a problem. On the box it says it wants a "hard drive power dongle". Is this just one of the molex cables coming from the PSU, or the ATX connector port on my mobo? Do I need a mobo with Dual ATX?

it requiers a 4 pin molex plug like the one used to power a hdd/optical drive for example, u don't need a "a mobo with Dual ATX"
