Does it have one, or two extra power connectors?  I've seen some monsters
float across my desk in the past couple of months; its to the point where
Quadro 4 cards ($500 just a couple of years ago) are now down to where I
was given one last week when the GeForce FX5200 from my machine had its
fan burn out.
