| I had to swap my motherboard out - so took advantage of an Asus board
| with PCI-E.
| I bought an Xpert Vision GeForce7600GT video card - PCI-E version.
| Once I got it in the slot, I noticed the small set of contacts on the
| top edge - suggesting an additional power source?
|
| Am I right? Anybody know what these contact are meant for? The manual
