I was wondering wether the FX 5200 come with a cable that gives the card power, a cable which connects to the hard drive. There is small white socket on the underside of the card which supports the small cable, which the manual clearly metions about connecting it. One of my friends who brought as similar card, though a better faster card, says that his came with the required cable, which was already connected to the card, that was used for this purpose, which connected to the hard drive. Has anyone else brought this card and have they got a small cable connected to the card when they got it.

But the Voodoo 5 relied on TWO chipsets and TWO fans to provide it's graphical grunt. Gotta love 3dfx (even though the late cards were rubbish).

only the radeon 9800 pro/aiw/xt and GF 5900/5950 need an extra cable cos they need more power.
